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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Lindsay Wilson</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Job -- Criticism, interpretation, etc</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Theology</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">223.107</classification> <classification authority="ddc">L748-W75</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780802827081</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13345/jo.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13345/jo.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071236.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
