Summary: McKenna Does A Great Job With Job
Review: The commentary on Job by David McKenna is one of the best biblical studies that I have ever read. His assessments of the biblical characters and their motivations are very insightful. McKenna shows that the primary purpose of this trial was not to prove anything to Satan but to lead Job and us along the correct pathway to spiritual maturity. McKenna teaches that instead of patience as the focus of the study, God reveals that Job's pride and self reliance are to be considered and corrected. The dilemmas of the suffering of the innnocent, God's tolerance of sinful behavior and the limits on God's control are skillfully handled by the commentator. Without any reservation, I recommend this commentatary to anyone who insists on know WHY. McKenna emphasizes that the real question is WHO. Thank you, David McKenna.
