The Book of Job is a profound exploration of the question: Why do bad things happen to good people? In this narrative, Job, a just and prosperous man, endures immense suffering and searches for understanding. Amidst his pain, Job declares his faith in a living Redeemer, foreshadowing Jesus Christ, who arrives thousands of years later.
