B521 Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes
An eye opening spiritual look at the three poetic books of Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes. The
study of Job is a deeply moving examination of wealthy Job and his fearsome trial of faith and
endurance. Students learn that Job’s three friends portray those who operate by wrong
principles in the church today: Eliphaz, by basing his theology on experience and observation;
Bildad, by basing his theology on tradition; and Zophar, by basing his theology on
assumption. Job’s own insights and revelations are discussed, together with the decisive
expose of Job and his friends by Elihu; then, the final revelations on the matter offered by
God Himself. 3 credits.
