Job: A Commentary in the Wesleyan Tradition

Hailed as one of the most profound literary, theological, and philosophical works ever written, the book of Job takes up the age-old topic of the innocent sufferer. This biblical masterpiece addresses questions about the meaning of human existence, God's relationship to humanity, and why good people sometimes suffer so terribly.

A. Wendell Bowes skillfully probes the depths of this outstanding book of the Bible in this volume of the New Beacon Bible Commentary. Along with authorship, date, and historical issues, Bowes artfully articulates the book's image of God as one who is mysterious and transcends human wisdom.
