Job was a faithful servant of God, healthy and rich with plenty of children. Suddenly he lost everything. Even his wife despised him. His friends, who came to console him, ended up in accusing him of very serious crimes. They insisted that God is just and would not have allowed Job to suffer if he had not committed some grievous sin.

Hence his arguments and complaints are directed not against his friends but against God Himself. Job firmly believed that it was God who was torturing him, apparently for no reason. Job complains to God but God does not respond. Though the Bible teaches that suffering is the result of sin, it need not be the sin of the one who suffers.

Hosea was the last prophet sent to the northern kingdom of Israel. While Israel was plunged into virtual anarchy, all the evils that Amos had denounced became still more pronounced and widespread. Murder and robbery became the order of the day. Religious practices degenerated into a bargain with God for receiving favors. Yahweh and Baal were worshipped on the same later. Thus, Israel’s political, social and religious systems were corrupt to the core. It was under these circumstances that Hosea was sent to Israel as the prophet of love.

Abraham is the one person whom three major religions of the world, namely, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, venerate as the “Father of believers”. The God who reveals Himself in the Bible is called “The God of Abraham”. Jesus Christ is called “The Son of Abraham”. The Old Testament (especially Gen ch 12-22) depicts him as the Patriarch who risked everything at the Word of an unknown God. The New Testament sees him as the model of faith. To an outsider, Abraham’s life might appear futile and foolish. He did not follow the path of ‘majority opinion’. He did not go after success in life. But this apparently foolish man stands at the beginning of the Salvation history. The story of Abraham and the meaning of his faith can be fully understood only in Jesus Christ, in whom the history of salvation finds its fulfillment.
