Show Notes

Our study of Jesus, in “Every Book of the Bible,” takes us to the book of Job. Job is one of the most enigmatic books of the Bible, and questions regarding its date of composition, setting, and authorship have been subjects of debate among scholars for centuries.

 

Job is renowned for his piety and prosperity. Hailing from the land of Uz, somewhere in “the East,” the timeline of his life is uncertain. Many biblical scholars place him in the time of the patriarchs like Abraham, though specific dates remain speculative. 

 

There are a few reasons some scholars and readers of the Bible have speculated that Job might have been an Edomite or had connections to Edom. The Edomites were descendants of Esau, Jacob's twin brother. We explore lessons learned from the relationship between Israel and Edom.
