Job - Lindsay Wilson

In this commentary Lindsay Wilson shows the book
of Job to
be a coherent literary work that addresses this question: Is
it possible for humans to have genuine faith in God regardless of
their
circumstances? Wilson argues that Job's bold, sometimes questioning cries to God are portrayed as legitimate
expressions of trust for a righteous person in adversity.

Through critical exegesis of the text, Wilson
focuses on the message of Job and its implications for practical
ministry, examining such key issues as suffering, justice, lament,
and faith. He also touches on various pertinent topics in
Christian ethics, including individual character, wealth, suicide,
and the environment. In a final section Wilson offers guidance on
using Job as a resource book for pastoral care and prayer, and
he discusses how to teach and preach from the book of
Job.
