Everyone suffers on some level, but some are forced to endure devastating, life-altering catastrophes. Such was the case for Job, the faithful protagonist of one of the Bible’s most peculiar books. His syndrome ranges from shock to anguish to disillusionment to indignation. But in the end, it yields peace and a knowing, a proving and an ascent, to the place where “his spiritual eye sees God as mysteriously holy, triumphantly sovereign and incalculably powerful in all His thoughts and designs, means and ways, purposes, and ends.”
The Job Syndrome is a powerful synthesis of scholarship and pastoral wisdom. A revision of the author’s doctoral dissertation specifically tailored to reach clergy and laity alike, Dr. Miller masterfully combines rigorous biblical scholarship with real-life stories and practical application to present us with a valuable guide for coping with calamity.
