Synopsis
Found in the Old Testament and the Hebrew Bible, this parable of a righteous man tested for his faith answers the question of why bad things happen to good people. Perhaps no other biblical tale penetrates so deeply into the everyday travails of the common person as The Book of Job. A well-to-do, God-fearing man, Job leads a content life of piety. But Job's faith is put to the test by God when he allows Satan to inflict pain on the devout man. The story of a righteous man beset by torment and misfortune, this parable of bad things happening to a good person addresses the eternal question of why we are here and why we suffer. This translation by Stephen Mitchell is read by acclaimed narrator Peter Coyote.
