About this book
Why do bad things happen to good people? It is a question as old as humankind, and the Book of Job, a masterpiece of world literature, is one of its most eloquent voices.
But the book was written more than 2,500 years ago, in a language, culture and tribal world very different from our own, where honor and shame mattered greatly. Fr. Michael D. Guinan, OFM, longtime professor of Old Testament at the Franciscan School of Theology, helps the modern reader bridge that gap and enter its thought world.
With study and discussion questions for individuals and Bible study groups. The Book of Job can indeed be a friend to each of us as we wrestle with the universal question of suffering.
