The Gospel According to Job

"Those who are familiar with McClelland's other books know they are in for a thought-provoking treat worth 'cussing and discussing ' 'So why, ' he asks, 'should people be interested in a GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOB? For the same reason that the Book of Job is included in the Bible," he argues. 'In the wisdom of the Church and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Book of Job becomes Sacred Scripture to keep the conversation about God honest ' McClelland goes on to suggest that Christ is God's Apology to the world for His questionable behavior in the Old Testament, and particularly, His need to use Job's family and their lives as stakes in a wager to bolster His Ego's insecurity God's Apology made flesh in Jesus is His Ego's act of Reconciliation -- not merely forgiving our sins -- indeed, God does not even count them against us. Rather, God, Himself, has taken responsibility for His role in creating the problem of our alienation. Christ's death, therefore, is an atonement for God's Sin as well as ours. The culmination of McClelland's thesis is that God has entrusted this AMAZING Message to us and is once again betting on us to win the bet for Him As usual, THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOB is not only a good read, but well worth your consideration " - Genesis Literary Review
