The man Job both prefigures Christ and illustrates our deep need of him. In this redemptive-historical commentary, Douglas O'Donnell applies the teaching of this ancient book to our lives today.The book of Job is a masterwork of poetic literature. Where else do we find an epic tale of human tragedy and divine comedy that includes a courtroom scene and a surprise ending?
But the book of Job is much more than a literary masterpiece. It is a story of a just and sovereign God—and a righteous suffering servant who foreshadows the Suffering Servant of perfect holiness. In this lively commentary, Douglas Sean O’Donnell demystifies a sometimes intimidating task as he demonstrates how to explain, illustrate, and apply biblical poetry. Most crucially, he shows how attentive readers can move from Job to Jesus as they receive and apply the truths of Scripture.
