BOOK OF JOB

Friday, December 16 – Sunday, December 18, 2022

The Book of Job is about struggle - the struggle of a good and pious man trying to make sense of the world and of his life in which bad things happen, in which evil is experienced. It asks the big question of why do these things happen if God is just and good. Its even greater significance is in the kind of stance Job is led to take in his challenge to God, his demand for an answer. In this workshop we will look at the dilemmas proposed in this important book of Wisdom literature, and how Job comes to terms with his world, his God and himself.
