About the Book
This all-new update to the MacArthur Bible Study Series continues Dr. John MacArthur's examination of the whole of Scripture, focusing on key chapters and passages of Scripture from the Old Testament.Book Synopsis
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."
