Wrestling with Job

Episode on "Wrestling with Job" with Drs. Bill Kynes and Will Kynes is Live 

Join us for this bonus episode as father-son co-authors Dr. Bill Kynes (Senior Fellow for Pastoral Theology, C.S. Lewis Institute) and Dr. Will Kynes (Samford University) join us to discuss their book Wrestling with Job: Defiant Faith in the Face of Suffering (IVP Academic). We discuss a number of things including: what makes Job so challenging, how it encourages us to wrestle with God, the friends' failure to comfort Job as opposed to God's success in the divine speeches, how the proper translation of Job's response indicates that he has received that comfort, and Job's connections with Jesus. Listen here.
