Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is the Book of Job a gift from God himself and different from other books in the Bible?

Do we have a better hope than Job ever had?

When we walk through dark valleys, will we have many questions that will not be answered in this lifetime? Dr. Davis offers some encouragement as we seek answers to the “why” using the story of Jacob’s love for Joseph.

What are the most common misconceptions Christians have about suffering? How does the Book of Job address those misconceptions?

We often ask why God allows bad things to happen to good people. Why don’t we focus more on Satan’s role in our suffering? Dr. Davis believes that God not only hides Satan’s evil from us – He actively shields us from it. Therefore, God takes the brunt of our anger for our own safety.

Unlike Job, some of our suffering is a result of our own actions. How can we wisely determine if our suffering is due to our own sin?

What can we learn from Job’s friends about what not to do when someone we know is suffering?

How can we minister to friends and family the right way? Dr. Davis encourages us to always point others to Jesus first.

How does the resurrection of Christ transform the Christian’s perspective on suffering and death, compared to Job’s limited hope?
