Little Rock Scripture Study The Book of Job

The Little Rock Scripture is hungry for God’s Word just like you. They work with a wide variety of Catholic biblical scholars and parish ministers as they develop Bible studies that involve a reasonable amount of study along with reflection. With Little Rock Scripture Study, you can start or join a group at your parish, invite friends to study together in your home, or read and study as an individual at your own pace.

Why does God allow human suffering? For thousands of years, the profoundly moving story of Job has allowed people of faith to reflect on that question. Job is a righteous man, stripped of all he holds dear, who engages in a powerful dialogue with his friends on the nature and cause of suffering. Job’s friends struggle to justify Job’s suffering, determined to find fault with Job rather than God. Job counters their arguments and then turns his attention to God in a desperate plea for justice. When God’s answer comes from the whirlwind, it is not what we expect. Biblical scholar Kathleen O’Connor serves as an insightful guide in this exploration of innocent suffering, divine silence, and the human quest for understanding. 6 lessons.

Each lesson includes a video lecture (15-20 min). Videos can be viewed online (link provided on Table of Contents page of each book). Speakers for this study are Clifford M. Yeary, Catherine Upchurch, Thomas Jakobs, Linda Webster, and David LeSieur.
