This episode of Pneumatikos will explore Job's chronic and disheartening spiritual grief.  Even faced with the interpretations of his misery by his counselor friends Job never capitulated to their particular schools or theorectical overlays about his personal grief narrative. Their theories, thought filled with self-congratulory wisdom were too narrow and filled with conclusions about why Job was suffering.  They never bothered to hear Job; they wanted Job to confess that their theories were correct, and accept their treatment wounds. In the end, Job knew that he would be vindicated and he therefore never agreed their arrogant assessments of his powerful,albeit misunderstood spiritual life.
