Podcast 262 -- Clowns to the Left of Me, Jokers to the Right, Here I Am Selections from Job 8-26

We change things up this week and perform two dramatic readings from the dialogue between Job and his three friends, followed by discussion. The argument gets heated, insults fly and sarcasm arguably approaches blasphemy. At heart, a pious, but deeply afflicted individual is trying to move beyond traditional but erroneous interpretations of scripture, while his peers dig in their heels on "conventional wisdom." Situation sound familiar? We also discuss how Job moves out of his lethargy of despair and becomes newly energized by the idea of a redeemer who would make him presentable before an unfathomable God.
