The Principle of Suffering For No Apparent Reason

Job is the man in the Bible and throughout history who’s best known for asking questions about suffering. It is hard to imagine that any of us have suffered more than Job, which is why we are going to talk about his life in this chapter.
But first, a word of caution: it would be outrageously insensitive to offer theological explanations to someone while he or she is going through profound suffering, such as when a soldier loses his legs, a spouse gets cancer, a worker loses his job, or a child dies. Broken hearts need love, not doctrine. So hopefully you are reading this before or after suffering. If you are going through profound suffering right now, feel free to come back to this podcast at another time.
