| Summary: | This volume emerged from Bill Kynes’s 10-week Lenten sermon series, which was shaped significantly by weekly exchange with his son Will. The conversational genesis of this book is conveyed through its very format: the pastoral voice of Bill opens chapters with a deft, accessible exposition of Joban material and its contemporary significance, and the scholarly voice of Will contributes afterwards with expansions of salient interpretative issues for those who wish to ‘dig deeper’. How pleasantly apropos this dialogical writing strategy is for the book of Job—though undoubtedly Bill and Will represent a far more symbiotic relationship and fruitful exchange than do the Joban interlocutors! Discussion questions for each chapter included at the end of the book fittingly beckon the reader to enter into the conversation with both text and community. |
