Description
Rev Andy Roland introduces The Book of Job, which has been designed so it can be performed as a dramatic performance, or read on your own. The book contains an essay ‘The Meaning of Job’, reflecting on the clash between the faith of God and actual experience of tragedy, injustice and disaster.
With a foreword from Bishop Rowan Williams.
This book is for you if:
- you want to reflect on the big questions of life – suffering, injustice, faith;
- you find the Old Testament a bit unwieldy and want a straightforward way into one of the most powerful books in the Bible;
- you want a way to read Job in a week and reflect on it;
- you want to have a fascinating evening in a home group;
- you wish to hold a theological seminar on this key aspect of Old Testament Wisdom;
- you want to present Job as a drama to the general public.
Rev Andy Roland studied history and theology at Oxford and Durham. He has been a priest in the Church of England for over 35 years. He is married and now lives in Earls Court, London. He is the author of Bible in Brief, an overview of the Bible in six months of daily readings, as well as Discovering Psalms as Prayer, Five Steps to Faith, and A Week of Prayer in Jerusalem.
