"God is our home but many of us have strayed from our native land.nbsp;nbsp;The venerable authors of these Spiritual Classics are expert guides--may we follow their directions home."nbsp;nbsp;--Archbishop Desmond Tutu How can a just God abandon His creatures to suffering?nbsp;nbsp;How do we reconcile our notions of divine goodness and omnipotence with the fact that the universe is visibly unfair?nbsp;nbsp;Sooner or later, these questions confront anyone who attempts to lead a life of faith.nbsp;nbsp;And nowhere have they been articulated with greater drama, poignancy, and despairing fury than in the Biblical parable of the blamelessly unfortunate Job. With a new Preface by Cynthia Ozick, nominated for the National Book Award for her book The Puttermesser Papers
