Job's Counselors
Abstract
Description
From a series. Sermon about the Book of Job (and one verse from James) and those who attempt to comfort Job during his time of need. Book of Job is described as the most unusual book in the Bible, in which none of the characters are Jewish. Job's culture associated prosperity with God's blessing and suffering with sin. Job has not sinned in proportion to his suffering, causing him to question that philosophy. Each of Job's counselors are analyzed.
