Job: Make it Make Sense
Fee:聽$60 | Five Weeks
Job鈥檚 pleas to God have resonated with the universal human experience of suffering for centuries. This philosophically complex and poetically beautiful book refuses to insult us with easy answers to life鈥檚 hardest questions. In this course we will explore a range of interpretive approaches in order to unlock some of Job鈥檚 secrets.聽
Can we use this text to help us make sense of tragedy in our world and foster our connection to an inscrutable God? As a venue for wrestling with the deep issues of life and faith, can we come away from the Book of Job and create something new?
