Conversation on the Dung Heap: Reflections on Job
Job is the biblical text most frequently used when discussing suffering. This ancient text has no simple answers, no quick fix for today"s tragedy but speaks passionately of the suffering innate to human existence, validates our response, and reveals a god who cares for our spirit, always. Job"s story is our story, and the journey he takes through Kubler-Ross" stages of dying and Dorothee Soelle"s phases of suffering to find God can be ours today in a time of AIDS.
