Here are four insightful quotes from well-known religious leaders about the Book of Job.
St. Augustine
“Job teaches us that even when God seems silent, He is not absent; faith holds fast in the dark.”
Pope John Paul II
“In Job we see the innocent sufferer whose cry becomes a meeting place between human pain and divine mystery.”
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
“Job reminds us that faith is not the absence of questions but the courage to bring our questions to God.”
Martin Luther
“Job’s trials show that God’s people may be pressed beyond measure, yet the Word of God sustains them when all else fails.”
