Certificate Course:The Book of Job: Suffering, Friendship, Creation, and Transformation
Course Description:
The Book of Job is a classic of world literature. It has attracted interpreters as diverse as Carl Jung, Archibald McLeish, Neil Simon, Eli Wiesel, Joni Mitchell, Bill McKibben, The Smashing Pumpkins, and a host of other playwrights, philosophers, and poets, as well as preachers, biblical scholars, and theologians. Why? This course will help answer that question, emphasizing in the final analysis how the character, Job, was transformed by encountering the God of all creation, and suggesting perhaps how we may be transformed as well.
