Video Segment 15 Summary (January 3, 2011 class)

Segment 15: When Trouble Comes

Presenter: B. Davie Napier

One purpose of the Book of Job is to argue against the belief that right living brings rewards in this life and that wickedness brings misfortune. Some interpreters see a parallel between Israel’s story and Job’s story. Israel’s and Job’s fulfillment comes in abandoning pride and accepting the role of servant.
Others see the meaning of the Book of Job in Job’s face-to-face encounter with God.
