This collection of eighteen essays addresses critical theological and ethical issues in the book of Job: (1) Prologue: From Eden to Uz; (2) Job and His Friends: "What Provokes You that You Keep on Talking?"; (3) Job and the Priests: "Look At Me and Be Appalled;" (4) Traumatizing Job: "God Has Worn Me Out;" (5) Out of the Whirlwind: "Can You Thunder with A Voice Like God's?"; (6) Preaching Job and Job's God: "Listen Carefully to My Words;" (7) Epilogue: "All's Well That Ends Well" ... or Is it? The lead essay raises the question that lingers over the entire book: What are we to think of a God who is complicit in the death of seven sons and three daughters "for no reason"?
