Original Biblical Songs: Job Song Sequence Demo Part One:
Sad that the general retreat from Biblical awareness fails to exempt the Book of Job from the general alienation in progress. The book of Job is a philosophical argument that skewers every self-help meme now extant. What it does is place wisdom where it belongs - as a fallible if useful bandaid, but not as something with the power to reconcile us, at the very height of our being, with reality. This reconciliation requires a repentance that is Job-like. It is a universal requirement not merely for getting right with reality but for healing one's own wounds. It is the sort of repentance Jesus advocated. It deals with the real guilt that is the essence of the human condition. That cannot be washed away by self-help nostrums.
