Is God too weak to stop suffering? Does God not care about my situation? In a world full of sin, pain and hardship remain daily realities. Throughout history, humanity has wrestled with the problems of suffering and has often questioned the goodness of God. Wood retells the story of Job and the struggles he endured. Throughout the course, students examine Job’s tumultuous life and the various responses to his suffering given by his friends and family. Ultimately, Job learns to praise God no matter what his circumstance. Despite Satan’s attempts to thwart the plans of God, the Lord remains sovereign over all.

Very detailed and long course, but very insightful when one not just listens but refers to the Bible, takes notes chapter by chapter and verse by verse just like attending a physical lecture in the auditorium.

The course helped me gain a deeper understanding of the Book of Job. Up to now, it had been a bunch of cliches and misunderstandings for me. I have used it as the basis of a Bible Study (I am an Elder in the Presbyterian Church) with some 13 members of our Congregation, and their feedback has been nothing but positive and full of praise. Thank you for this great resource!

Well, I can't believe I actually took the initiative to study the book of Job. Read it many times, but ran right through it out of fear. Praise God for this course. The lecturer was excellent and so were the lessons. Thank you for the offering.
