Job

Job is a book that I will go back and study. It reminds me of the play Everyman in some regards. One thing I realized that I'd not before is that Elihu is not one of the three friends. He is a young man that waits, out of respect, until the three friends have finished and then he speaks. He says that there are other reasons besides punishment that cause God to allow things to happen to righteous people.

In the end though, this book raises more questions and provides one answer: God is God. In the end that is the only answer Job needs.
