The Book of Job: A Cynic's Guide to the Universe

Is there a place in Scripture for you to rage against God?  To ask hard questions?  To get more than patented answers?  Trent and Joel explore the Old Testament book of Job in this installment of Lead Balloons Podcast.  

They set the stage by describing the genre of wisdom literature, referencing Joel's favorite OT book, Ecclesiastes.  They then explore how Job's variegated voices and styles serve to unsettle those who have too rashly concluded what the meaning of suffering is.  Could the book of Job be a welcome antidote to the malady of all-too-easy solutions to life's toughest problems?  Come find out!!
