The events that occur in the book of Job present readers with a
profound question: "Why do the righteous suffer?"
Although a direct answer to this question seems important, the book of
Job does not set forth such a response. Job never learned the reasons
for his suffering. In fact, when God finally confronted Job, he could
only put his hand over his mouth and say nothing. His silence
underscores the importance of trusting God's purposes in the midst of
suffering, because suffering--like all other human experiences--is
directed by perfect divine wisdom.
In this study, pastor John MacArthur will guide you through an in-depth
look at the defining themes and interpretative challenges in Job.
Studies include close-up examinations of doctrinal themes such as God's
Justice and "A Discourse on Human Frailty."
