| Summary | "Expositor's Bible: The Book of Job" by Robert A. Watson is a theological commentary written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the themes of suffering, faith, and divine justice as expressed in the biblical narrative of Job, a figure who endures profound trials while maintaining his faith in God. Watson's analysis seeks to explore the depth of Job's character and the broader spiritual implications of his story, making it relevant for readers navigating their own trials of faith. At the start of the text, Watson outlines the significance of the Book of Job, portraying it as a pioneering work that addresses the human struggle with suffering and the quest for understanding divine justice. He introduces Job as a man of great wealth and piety living in the land of Uz, whose life is depicted as idyllic but shallow, setting the stage for the profound trials he is about to face. After establishing Job's character and setting, Watson hints at the celestial council where God and the Adversary (Satan) engage in a dialogue that leads to the testing of Job's faith through unexpected calamities, thus framing the narrative’s exploration of the purpose behind human suffering.
