We spend our time in this episode talking about a specific character in the book of Job: Elihu. Elihu shows up almost at the end, and he is a little enigmatic, in certain ways. Some Christians try to use him, and his words, to cast doubt on the main message of Job. Others aren’t necessarily doing that, but they get confused about Elihu, and again this creates confusion about the message. Wade and I talk about how to understand Elihu in the light of ancient middle-eastern culture, and of Job, and indeed the rest of scripture.
This ended up as a wide ranging, invigorating conversation. It is one of my favourite episodes so far.
