Description
Perhaps no other Biblical tale penetrates so deeply into the everyday suffering of the common person as The Book of Job. It tells the story of a righteous man beset by torment and misfortune through no fault of his own. This parable of bad things happening to a good person addresses the eternal question of why we are here, and why we suffer. This translation from the Hebrew is by Stephen Mitchell.
