Job v. God: A Pleading in God's Court

By Jack Ciancio

The book of Job is considered the most perplexing book of the Bible and has challenged countless scholars to provide a coherent explanation. They all, however, just like in the book of Job itself, avoid Job's anguished request to be given a trial to prove what he knows to be true-"I am blameless." If God will not take him to court, imagine if it were made possible for Job to take God to court, not out of anger but to find out why God contends against him: "I would lay my case before him, and fill my mouth with arguments, I would learn what he would answer me and understand what he would say to me." Obviously, God cannot be guilty of wrongdoing, but Job believes a trial would give him a chance not only to prove his innocence but also to seek an answer to his and often our most pressing question: "Why me, Lord?"

Job v. God is an absorbing creative account of Job's wished-for court trial with God.
