Considering Job: Reconciling Sovereignty and Suffering

Suffering is common to the human experience. It is miserable to endure and a problem that has challenged sages, philosophers, theologians—and the person next door—for generations. Graciously, God provides us with an entire book of the Bible on this subject. In Considering Job, Anthony T. Selvaggio demonstrates how God is glorified as both sovereign and good through the reality of human suffering. Selvaggio prepares us to courageously face suffering in our life and more effectively minister to others experiencing miseries in their lives. By embracing the wisdom of this ancient book of Job, we will be drawn closer to our holy, righteous, merciful, and good God.

“The Lord God Himself asked our adversary, “Have you considered My servant Job?” (Job 1:8). And the half brother of the Lord Jesus exhorted us all to imitate “the perseverance of Job” (James 5:11). But not enough Christians plumb the deep wisdom in the book of Job or know enough of its long-suffering hero to make much use of James’s exhortation. In these important endeavors, Anthony Selvaggio’s Considering Job helps us much. For newcomers in these tasks, Considering Job provides a clear and accessible introduction to one of the Bible’s most important and most neglected books.” Byron G.
