…pressing the final chapters of Job in the direction of a radically christocentric interpretation that sees Job's silence at the end of the book as being filled with the pathos of one survivor bearing prophetic witness to the sufferings of another…
My friend faced loss upon loss,
Until she beheld her shards of faith
And considered walking away.
In Job, God speaks out of the whirlwind.
And my friend finally left
Her icy bubble of isolation
For the chaos of companionship
And mutual grief
And there she found God
Where he has always been.
