    Title ShortJob in Exile
    Venue Forum
    Experience DescriptionThis presentation offers an invitation to a reading of the Book of Job of and for spiritual exiles. Job is read as a profound biblical challenge to simplistic religious orthodoxy and easy explanations of suffering. Job models faithful protest, moral courage, and integrity in the face of catastrophic loss, while his friends exemplify the failures of religious communities that respond to suffering with defensiveness, bad theology, and inadequate consolation. The result is a constructive vision of faith for post-evangelicals and other “spiritual refugees” who seek to remain morally serious and theologically engaged after disillusionment with traditional forms of belief.
