This collection of eighteen essays addresses critical theological and ethical issues in the book of Job: (1) Prologue: From Eden to Uz; (2) Job and His Friends: “What Provokes You that You Keep on Talking?”; (3) Job and the Priests: “Look At Me and Be Appalled;” (4) Traumatizing Job: “God Has Worn Me Out;” (5) Out of the Whirlwind: “Can You Thunder with A Voice Like God’s?”; (6) Preaching Job and Job’s God: “Listen Carefully to My Words;” (7) Epilogue: “All’s Well That Ends Well” … or Is it? The lead essay raises the question that lingers over the entire book: What are we to think of a God who is complicit in the death of seven sons and three daughters “for no reason”?

“The volume also is sprinkled with fourteen colour images, illustrating Balentine’s commitment to broad study and integration of art and literature which infuses his work with insightful depth. The gift of this collection of essays is its invitation to the reader to wrestle with the God of the book of Job, with whom Balentine has been wrestling for many years in order to grasp a blessing.” – Brittany N. Melton, Palm Beach Atlantic University, USA, in: Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Volume 46, Issue 5, June 2022.
