And at the end of that road, there's a single sentence that I believe contains more wisdom about grief than most books written on the subject.
'My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.' (Job 42:5)
That's the hinge. That's the whole thing.
If you read the book of Job as a road to be traveled, something different happens. You follow a man from orientation through the most catastrophic disorientation imaginable, and you watch what happens to him on the other side.
If you read the book of Job as a problem to be solved, you'll be frustrated. The book doesn't solve the problem of suffering. It doesn't answer the question of why innocent people suffer. It doesn't provide a theological framework that makes sense of catastrophic loss.
