This was the first time that I have studied Job, I knew the stories from sunday school but never knew them in depth. I have the upmost respect for Job, I have gone through far less than what he went through, unlike him though I would turn and run from God. Job's five trials alone would have caused me to curse the name of the Lord. Yet he never loses his trust in God. The difference between Yahweh and the gods of the Greek's is that Yahweh cares for his people, the gods of the Greek's tend to be only after their own selves. A difference between Job, and the characters of Greek mythology is that Job never blames or curses Yahweh, however the Greek's are eager to blame the gods. I believe that I may have a new favorite piece of literature.
I commented on Abbie's
