Job
Righteous man tested by Satan with God's permission, losing family, wealth, and health. Job's protest against undeserved suffering and his friends' theological explanations explore theodicy—the problem of evil. God's response from the whirlwind emphasizes divine mystery beyond human understanding. Job represents innocent suffering, the questioning of divine justice, and faith that persists despite incomprehensible trials. His restoration demonstrates vindication and the limits of theological certainty.
