The Book of Job, And The
Enigma
Of
The
Ages - CCS by Charles H Welch and published by Classics Publications.
Within the pages of this little book we are brought face-to-face, not only with the problem of suffering, but with it the problem of evil and its relation to the creation of man. He who would stand fast amid the pressure of events must learn the lessons taught in this great book of Job. The author draws back the curtain and shows how this ancient record came into the hands of one ‘learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians’.
Here, Moses would read for the first time truths that form part of the book of Genesis; Adam’s sin, the Sons of God, the majesty of the Creator and the vastness of His handiwork.
Also, here he would read of a Redeemer who lives, of a Ransom provided, and of a hope that through Him man may be raised from sleep in the dust of the earth.
It may well be that the reader’s heart will burn within him as he turns the following pages, but the conclusion is inescapable that such a book would not only influence but impart power and wisdom to the man chosen to be the deliverer and lawgiver of Israel.
