Beskrivelse
The Book of Job is likely the most mystifying and disturbing book of the Old Testament. It stretches our ideas about God and of the very nature of His love to the breaking point. "Dark Honesty from Death's Shadow" is a commentary that places Job into its historical backdrop in the world of Genesis. With dark humor echoing Job's often satirical outlook; it explores the self-deceptions of human religion and its moral egotism. It tackles hard questions like, "If God is both all righteous and all powerful, then why does evil exist?" Yet it writes in defense of historical Christian theology; against today's popular evasive shortcuts. Job is also the earliest book of Scripture to describe humanity's need for a mediator and divine redemption in detail. "Dark Honesty" brings out Job's view of both God's sovereignty and goodness, in a chapter by chapter walk through what is often called the oldest book of the Bible.
