About this listen

It begins with the Divine injunction:

"Have you considered my servant, Job?"

The biblical drama of Job is haunting. A blameless man is tormented by "the Satan" - stripped of wealth, status, possessions, health, and children - all with God's permission! Who is this Satan? More chilling still, who is this God? And why, despite this cataclysmic carnage, does the drama focus on the resulting argument between Job and his 3 friends?

The ending of the drama seems no clearer. When God reveals Himself, what is He saying? Finally, God restores Job. Yet does this truly repair His permitted destruction of him?

With its distinctive identification of the Satan, this interpretation offers unique insights into the classic interactions between God, Satan, and the Righteous Man, revealing the messianic message encoded within. Most importantly, it lends reason to persevere in faith, as Job did, and speak well of God.

I have heard John speak on this subject, but the depth and power of the analysis in the book is very good and provides a dimension of understanding that I think I had missed before.
I am sure Mr Peel is a great reader more generally but there were a number of irritating mispronounced words. the most glaring being "subpoena. Detracted a little from the enjoyment of the audio.

Great analysis but somewhat irritating narrator
