Job: Evangelical Exegetical Commentary

Job

But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?

The book of Job is challenging. Its Hebrew is often obscure, its length and subject matter are intimidating, and its meaning has been debated throughout the history of biblical interpretation. In this commentary, Duane A. Garrett presents a fresh argument for the books meaning. Job demonstrates the inability of Wisdom, as a theological tradition, to solve the problem of evil. Without rejecting Wisdom, it shows that only God can truly deal with evil. Gods answer to evil is found only in Christ, who is anticipated in the book of Job.
