%title The Elevation of Unknown Things

Something like "Seasons" except about growth through the death of the self and how Job fails in that.

  1. Framing devices
  2. Interpolations NB: switched below
  3. Friends and "Friends"
  4. Unknown things (theodicy)
  5. Should all things be known (what if the pals really did solve theodicy)

Pals quotes:

  • Job and his quote-unquote friends
  • Narrative/moral/commercial failure (~13 mins)
  • Inverse Pascal's wager (impossible to distinguish between God's wrath and God's indifference) even if you believe, this could still happen (~14mins)
  • (Hunt for Vanessa Zoltan's dad saying "If God is not dead, he is not welcome in my home") (~15mins)

Chesterton quote:

Job puts forward a note of interrogation; God answers with a note of exclamation. Instead of proving to Job that it is an explicable world, He insists that it is a much stranger world than Job ever thought it was.
