Lesson 5 of 5·The Book of Job: Power, Justice, and Divine Ethics
In our final lecture, Professor Goodman reviews the three paradoxes of Job: it gives sacred Jewish authority to non-Jewish ideas; it makes criticizing and telling the truth about God into a duty; and it criticizes classical biblical theology, while also being a part of the Hebrew Bible. Drawing on the ideas of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks and Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, Professor Goodman shows how Job can change our understanding of the Bible, and how it helps us confront one of the biggest problems within modern liberal societies.
