Explore the Book of Job in the context of Israel’s history and theological reflection.
Delve into themes of suffering, justice, and divine sovereignty, emphasizing Job’s trials as a mirror for Israel’s struggles and a prototype for the Messiah. The course covers Job’s personal suffering, his interactions with his friends, and the role of Elihu as a mediator, while also addressing deeper questions of faith, righteousness, and restoration. Through a messianic lens, the series highlights how Job’s story points to both the suffering and ultimate redemption of Israel and Yeshua (Jesus).

This is a must-see class! Professor Broshi articulates the complex topic of suffering in a way that is challenging, helpful and encouraging. If you are struggling, this class will help you and calm your mind. It puts biblical passages into context and sheds new light on our Messiah! Dr. Broshi, thank you for answering questions that have confused me for decades. You are a wonderful teacher, and you made this class truly enjoyable. Thank you for making this class available and for studying so hard so we can benefit. Job 19:25
I am blessed by the this course, I learnt that we worship God for who He is and suffering does not always mean sin.
Jesus is wisdom and the voice – He is the word.
Thank you for making the teaching available for everyone to learn.
I love this course and the way that Dr. Golan Broshi exposed it. I used to feel some reluctance toward the book of Job, mainly because I couldn’t undestand the amount of suffering and misery that Job had to endure, and in my heart I was also afraid to experience the same fate. That’s why this course was a blessing, it helped me see this story with a renew understanding and appreciate its true value.
What I enjoyed the most was the comparison of Job and the Messiah.
I’m rating it 3 not because the rest wasn’t good but simply because I think more time should have been spent on this topic.
Thanks for your hard work Dr Golan
