Thanks so much for the outlines. Our men's study group is going through the lecture series now, and the outlines help keep us on track.
@@buddycoffey7121 Hopefully I can stay a head of you guys ;-) I'll have full text too when I finish making the closed captions if that would be of interest.
@@tedhildebrandt_BeL Whatever you have would be of much interest! Thanks in advance - bcoffey@gemacs.com

The initial slide is a repeat of Session 3.
Strange. Dr. Walton spends 3 minutes citing Ancient Near East (ANE) writings that address scenarios similar to Job, e.g. righteous sufferers--yet he told us back in lecture 1 that Job was utterly unique in the ancient world. This current lecture suggests to me that what's unique about Job is something unique in Hebrew theology--and yet, the conclusion about God in Job, that His wisdom is beyond human understanding, does not seem to me to be that different from the perspective from several of the ANE accounts that Dr. Walton listed, that the gods are inscrutable. So I'm left wondering: exactly in what way is Job unique? Is it that YHWH has told him what righteousness looks like?
Land of uz = from our land? Uz=us?
No.
It sounds as though this writing could have been used as something of a tool to introduce the near eastern people to the God of Israel. Maybe the audience is meant to be other near easterners and not Israelites?
