Bullinger reads all forty-two chapters of Job as building toward a single lesson — that a man is made right with God not by good behavior, but by a broken and contrite heart. This entry covers his account of the book's opening: the wager in heaven, and Job stripped of everything before his three friends ever arrive.
Not an endorsement. Berea does not necessarily agree with the theology, denominational views, or conclusions of the writers featured here. These are historic, public-domain works, offered because they are well-written and worth wrestling with — part of the long Christian tradition of taking Scripture seriously, not a doctrinal recommendation. Read to be engaged and provoked, then test everything against Scripture and your own study.
