Why does God permit the innocent to suffer and the wicked to thrive? Nowhere has that question been posed more starkly, or with greater poetry and drama, than in this book. In telling the story of a righteous man who is stripped of all that he loves on the apparent whim of the Creator, Job compels readers to consider the relationship between power and justice, to assess the depth of their own faith, and to put aside the notions of a God that conforms to human hopes and imaginings.
