Bible Question: who wrote the boobk of job ? |
Bible Answer: disciple 1: The author of the book of Job is not known for certain. Suggestions include Job himself, Elihu, Moses and Solomon. The events in the narrative may have taken place in a patriarchal age around the time of Abraham. The theme is timeless. Modern man wrestles with the same ages-old question: Why do bad things happen to good people? Job's three friends were essentially in agreement: Sin is at the root of human suffering. That would exclude no one, not even "good" people, for "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." [Romans 3:23]. Although sin is an unpopular word in the society of our time, is not in the lexicon of modern humanism, and some post-modern theologians have changed their minds even about its reality, God has not changed His mind about sin. --Hank |
