A Study of the Book of Job by Shane Scott (edited by David Holder)

“‘The Book of Revelation is easy – Job is difficult!’ That’s how one of my professors introduced the Book of Job to us in one of my favorite college classes. And Job is challenging for many reasons. The Hebrew text is notoriously difficult to translate, and the message of the book is subject to many different interpretations. But I believe the primary message of the book is clear – we can trust in God even when we don’t always understand him” (Shane Scott’s introduction to this material). This workbook is full of focused questions throughout twelve lessons that will challenge you with a new and deeper understanding of the Biblical text, followed by eleven focused studies that will allow you to dig deeper into various topics. The focus of this study is to learn from the struggles of Job, his conversations with his friends, and his eventual encounter with God. Open this workbook alongside the Bible and learn from the testing of Job and the words from God.
