The Heresy Of Job (1907)

By Francis Money-Coutts and Francis Burdett Thomas Coutts

Book Overview

The Heresy of Job is a book written by Francis Burdett Thomas Coutts in 1907. The book is a theological exploration of the biblical story of Job and the concept of suffering. The author argues that the traditional interpretation of Job's story as a lesson in faith and perseverance in the face of suffering is flawed. Instead, Coutts suggests that Job's story is a critique of the prevailing belief in a just and merciful God, and that Job's questioning of God's justice should be seen as a legitimate theological position. The book also explores the historical and cultural context of the biblical story, and examines the ways in which it has been interpreted throughout history. Overall, The Heresy of Job is a thought-provoking and challenging exploration of one of the most enduring stories in the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
