Résumé : |
The Bible is the most daring and honest of books. Where else would you read that heroes of faith were ‘ destitute, afflicted, tormented ’? Job and some psalmists arc outspoken to the point of blasphemy, yet God permits their words to stand in the record.
Baffled by the silence and the seeming indifference of God, Job was infuriated by glib religious talkers. Twice overwhelming calamity befell him, but his passionate concern was to get through to God. ‘ O that I knew where 1 might find Him.’ A pioneer of faith, fearless and undaunted, suffering Job penetrated further than he knew. He seemed to touch more than the hem of Christ’s garment. It is a startling book, not least in its conclusion. God refuses to be drawn into argument or self-defence. His answer to Job from the whirlwind seems at first glance completely irrelevant. That is what makes the book a masterpiece of superb artistry. What matters is that you read and master the original majestic Book of Job. This ‘ study manual ’ is only secondary—an aid toward disentangling the arguments of Orientals whose logic is not the same as ours. From happy faith, faith seemingly secure, Job moved on to tortured faith, and thence to faith impregnable and invincible. |
