Rendition During Books A Son For Glory: Job Through New Eyes (Through New Eyes Bible Commentary)

Toby Sumpter's commentary on Job is the latest entry in The Through New Eyes Bible Commentary Series. Bible-reading is more of an art than a science. The Bible is a story, not a lexicon of systematic theological definitions. With this in mind, The Through New Eyes Bible Commentary Series builds on the foundational Biblical-theology work of James B. Jordan and other like-minded scholars in bringing you a set of commentaries that will help you read, teach and preach through the Bible while picking up on the rich symphonic themes and the literary symbolism of the Scriptures. Because they are written for thoughtful Christians without being overly academic, these commentaries will serve as valuable resources for family worship, Sunday school or Bible studies.

Evaluation About Books A Son For Glory: Job Through New Eyes (Through New Eyes Bible Commentary)

It is common for readers and interpreters of Job to treat it as an isolated piece of dramatic literature that pictures an extreme form of suffering that everyone hopes will never come near their life experience. But, what is the context of Job in the midst of the whole message of biblical revelation? And, how does its message correlate to the biblical message to every child of God? Such are the questions that Toby Sumpters A Son For Glory answers with full satisfaction.The story of Job, says

This is a great commentary. Highly recommended. The way Toby interprets Job's relationship with his three friends in light of God's final verdict in Job 42.7-8 makes great sense of the book as a whole. While some want to sympathize with the friends throughout, Toby soundly shows why this approach will not work, and he does so from within the text. A great read for anyone interested in the book of Job. No knowledge of Hebrew is necessary to read this.

This commentary really clarified Job for me. The most radical and most obvious point of the book, I think, is that we should actually pay attention to what Job is saying. Too often we just think he's whining, and so we ignore him, whether we admit it or not.If you want to better understand one of the more difficult books of Scripture, buy this short book. It goes down smooth and leaves you wanting to read Job again. That's the highest compliment I can pay to a commentary.

I really enjoyed this discussion of Job. It's very pastoral, very readable, and very orthodox evangelical. Solid stuff.

Easily one of the best books I've read the whole year. Toby Sumpter tackles the complexity of Job, providing a helpful sprint through the book, drawing attention to its connections both with the Mosaic law and sacrifices, and ultimately with Christ, while focusing on the transformative nature of the story - God is using trials to transform Job into wisdom through the tasks of maturity, growing him up into a prophet, one who God will include in His prophetic counsel. Great, great stuff.

Helpful and accessible.

This was a great book to read as I read through Job recently. This series of commentaries has impressed me as very accessible. I really enjoyed the way this one especially brings out connections with other parts of the Bible.
