Michael C Legaspi: Job, Gebunden

Klappentext

A trustworthy guide for preaching and teaching on Job

For centuries, readers have been drawn to the book of Job because it probes the mysteries of God's dealings with humanity. But the book can be perplexing, leaving readers with more questions than answers about suffering, comfort, and the character of God.

To address this need, Michael C. Legaspi has created a guide that makes the book of Job both intelligible and useful for believers. Legaspi offers a fresh perspective that goes beyond moralistic tropes and also avoids standard philosophical interpretations that diminish Job's experiences. Instead, Legaspi treats the book of Job as a coherent narrative with a beginning, middle, and end, and shows how it aligns with larger scriptural patterns. Most importantly, he helps readers see how the book fits squarely within a traditional understanding of spiritual formation.

Whether preparing sermons or leading Bible studies, pastors and teachers will find this accessible commentary equips them to make Job genuinely useful for their congregations.

For anyone who has struggled to understand the book of Job and apply it to everyday life, Legaspi's clear-eyed guide will be a welcome resource.
