When you want to shout to God: Job

by Craig Bartholomew

When you want to shout to Jobb Do you only know Job in the story of Job, who was blessed with doubt because he did not lose faith in the midst of suffering? b While confronting Job in extreme hardship, confess that "if we are blessed by God, will not we get angry" (2:10). One might think that this story should end here, showing Jobs faith in overcoming adversity and winning. In "When We Want to Shout at Job," Craig Bartholomew asks us to release the Book of Job we thought we knew. This is because we can know the actual contents of the book of Job. Jobs story contradicts the idea of "reaping as sowed." Trouble is not always the result of sin. Right action does not always guarantee blessing. But God is always faithful. Bartholomew regards Job as the extreme of the Bible poetry and shows how beautiful and impressive the wrestling of Job and God is.
