Class 4

In the Book of Job, we hear God ask, “Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook or tie down its tongue with a rope? Can you put a cord through its nose or pierce its jaw with a hook?" (Job 41:1)

The Leviathan is just one of the metaphorical chaos monsters that are mentioned in the book and they show us just how unknowable the whole universe is. In Job, we learn that true union with God is a STAGE of spiritual development and not a one-time STATE. But we are asked to enter into the mystery of God’s wisdom even further as we learn to let go of our preconceived expectations of life.

Course Description:

In our lives, we face real fears, pain, and suffering. These things can feel like metaphorical monsters lurking in the shadows and mist of a murky reality. It can seem wherever we turn, there are people who can only seem to offer Hallmark-esque platitudes and even toxic positivity in response to the actual help our souls desire. The Biblical Wisdom tradition takes the opposite approach to pain and suffering. Through Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job (three of the classic Wisdom books in the Bible), we can find a pattern that has been time-tested to help us find deep growth, even when we're facing the things we fear most in this life. Taking an in-depth academic and spiritual approach to these three Book of the Bible, we can learn to grow in wisdom and hope.
