bullet"What folly it is to strive against God! How much is it our interest to seek peace with him, and to keep in his love!"
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"All his bodily distempers were thoroughly healed, and probably in a moment. His mind was calmed, his peace returned, and the consolations of God were not small with him."
bullet"Intercessory Prayer: Job 42:10," Charles H. Spurgeon, 1861.
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).

bullet "Risking a Happy Ending," Martin B. Copenhaver, The Christian Century, 1994.
bullet"Though we like a story to have a happy ending, we tend to be suspicious when it does."
bulletArticles & Background:
bullet "A Jungian Perspective on Religious Violence and Personal Responsibility," Charlene P.E. Burns, Cross Currents, 2006.
bullet"Religion is an activity engaged in by human beings. Violence is a mode of human behavior sometimes but not always linked with religious goals."
bullet "Lament as True Prayer," Diane Jacobson, The Lutheran, 2005.
bullet"...in contrast to his friends, Job refused to overlook the depth of his suffering. He refused to protect God from his despair. He refused to believe God wasn't active in the world."
bullet "Power Made Perfect in Weakness," Rebecca Konynkyk DeYoung, (other resources at) "Suffering," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2005.
bullet"While our culture may idolize strength in adversity and tough self-reliance, courage has another side that many of us have not thought about much."
bullet "A Biblical Theology of Chronic Illness," Jeffrey H Boyd, Trinity Journal, 2003.
bullet"This paper will attempt to develop a theology of chronic illness. I will make two points: First, some parts of the church have over-emphasized the healing aspect of prayer. Second, we should emphasize the God-human relationship if we want to help sick people."
bullet "The Family in the Bible," James A. Sanders, Biblical Theology Bulletin, 2002.
bullet"The whole of the Bible and of Jewish and Christian tradition can be viewed within the tension between the Bible's focus on family, or community worth and responsibility, and its struggle toward affirmation of individual worth and responsibility within the larger family...The current cultural tensions between Islam and the West, and even in the so-called culture wars in this country, are illumined by a socio-cultural reading of the Bible as a whole."
bullet "'My Servant Job Shall Pray for You,'" Samuel E. Balentine, Theology Today, 2002.
bullet"When Job addresses the Almighty in prayer, what does he say?"
bullet"Who is Battering Whom?" by Dr. David R. Blumenthal, Professor of Judaic Studies, Emory University.
bullet"But, how does God repent? How does God do teshuva? If the echoes of the Book of Lamentations and the Book of Job are heard seriously, God repents by talking to us, by seeing us, by taking notice of us, by acknowledging us in some concrete way."
bullet "The Bible and Ecological Spirituality," Walter B. Gulick. Theology Today, 1991.
bullet“To reflect upon the integrity of the land apart from human use would require an abstract quality of thought not characteristic of the biblical worldview. In sum, nature in the Bible is generally either regarded as a resource, or it fades into the background while, in the foreground, the significant drama of history is played out. In order to explore how the Bible might serve as a normative source for an ecological spirituality, an alternative must be found to focusing directly on how nature is portrayed in biblical passages. A promising direction is to reflect upon some of the qualities of an ecological consciousness or an ecological spirituality and then to see to what extent the Bible supports these qualities."
