Holman Old Testament Commentary (Job)
Job is at once one of the most profound literary and religious documents in the history of civilization. More than that, it is the Word of God. In this document, God graciously hears, through Job, our most vexing questions about the purposes of God and God’s ways with human beings. If a person lives long enough, he will pass through the fires of suffering, and cried out to God, “Why?”
Dr. Steven Lawson provides a verse-by-verse commentary on this masterpiece, illuminating the meaning of the entire book of Job with application for day to day living. This commentary will prepare those who teach and preach Job with salient quotes, compelling illustrations, and suggestions for communicating the profound contents of this book.
Resolution 22: Resolved, to endeavor to obtain for myself as much hapiness, in the other world, as I possibly can, with all the power; might, vigor, and vehemence, yea violence, I am capable of, or can bring myself to exert, in any way that can be thought of."
