The History of Great Jewish Books | Part 3

Recorded Tuesday, March 24 Why do bad things happen to good people? It's the oldest question in human history — and the Book of Job may be the boldest attempt ever written to wrestle with it. In this captivating class, Rabbi David Wolpe takes us deep into one of the Bible's most challenging and profound texts. From the cosmic wager between God and the Adversary, to Job's extraordinary faith under unimaginable suffering, to God's stunning response from the whirlwind — Rabbi Wolpe unpacks what the Book of Job is really saying about justice, morality, and the nature of the world we live in. Is God telling Job to simply accept his ignorance? Is this a story about authentic relationship with the divine? Or is the Book of Job quietly smuggling in one of the most radical theological claims in all of scripture — that the world was never meant to be fair? You won't look at suffering — or faith — the same way again.
