If any book of the Bible has caught the imagination of its readers, both devout and secular, it is surely the Book of Job. A resounding cry from the depths of pain and anguish, its poetry continues to find an echo in human hearts today. Claus Westermann, internationally renowned Old Testament scholar, asserts that Job is more than a treatment of “the problem of evil” or “innocent suffering”. It is the articulation of the actual cry of a real human being in deep distress.
