The Shadow of Christ in the Book of Job

“The book of Job is a large and complex book, and many large and complex commentaries have been written on it. Many attempt to reduce the book to one main idea and to arrange all of their comments around that idea. Williams, on the other hand, while recognizing the complexity of the book, has decided to focus on one aspect that has received little attention in the commentaries. That is, how does this book relate to Christ? The result is a short, but profound, study of the Christological significance of the book of Job. I highly recommend it.”

“A winsome invitation to navigate a "Messianic trajectory" involving "the man from Uz," this fresh study from C. J. Williams links such theological concepts as typology and Christology together with illustrative images like a covered bridge—actual and depicted. Anchored firmly in theology yet breathing with clarity, this pleasant volume shows how Job's vicissitudes of life echo in anticipation of the Christ who descended from heavenly privilege only to be taken once again into eternal glory.”
