Job
Old Testament · 14 sections · scripture: Berean Standard Bible
Job is the book the rest of the Bible needed someone to write. Deuteronomy had taught, and the histories had largely illustrated, a moral arithmetic: obey and prosper, rebel and suffer. It is true often enough to be dangerous — true the way "exercise and you'll be healthy" is true — and the moment it hardens into a universal law it turns every sufferer into a suspect.
