We find this commentary a pastoral companion for preaching Job, helping us follow the argument, feel the emotional weight, and resist quick answers.
It keeps God’s sovereignty and wisdom central, and it helps us preach suffering in a way that comforts the afflicted and humbles the self assured.
Why Should I Own This Commentary?
We should own it when we need help handling long speeches and repeated cycles. The commentary keeps the flow visible and clarifies what each voice contributes.
It also aids application. We are guided toward patient, reverent preaching that honours lament and leads hearers toward trust rather than tidy explanations.
Closing Recommendation
We recommend it as a strong preaching resource for Job, particularly for pastors who want help preaching with both truth and tenderness.
