One of the most commonly raised objections to the Christian faith is the “problem of evil”. The challenge goes like this: If God is really all-good and all-powerful, why is there so much pain and suffering in the world? It’s a fair question. The book of Job was written, in part, to destroy our assumptions of what God should be allowed to do. And in the process, it reveals to us a God much greater and more glorious and worthy of worship than the small god of our self-centered assumptions.
