Job (Reformed Expository Commentary)

The book of Job is a masterwork of poetic literature. Where else do we find an epic tale of human tragedy and divine comedy that includes a courtroom scene and a surprise ending?

But the book of Job is much more than a literary masterpiece. It is a story of a just and sovereign God—and a righteous suffering servant who foreshadows the Suffering Servant of perfect holiness. In this lively commentary, Douglas Sean O’Donnell demystifies a sometimes intimidating task as he demonstrates how to explain, illustrate, and apply biblical poetry. Most crucially, he shows how attentive readers can move from Job to Jesus as they receive and apply the truths of Scripture.

As are all Reformed Expository Commentaries, this book is accessible to both pastors and lay readers. Each volume in the series gives careful attention to the biblical text, is doctrinally Reformed, focuses on Christ through the lens of redemptive history, and applies the Bible to our contemporary setting.
