Something like “Seasons” except about growth through the death of the self and how Job fails in that.
- Framing devices
- Friends and “Friends”
- Interpolations
- Unknown things (theodicy)
- 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.
