   Common Space: Throwing Dishes at God | Episode 17

   Here we are on our Common Space journey, at the book of Job. It’s always everyone’s favorite—the kind of read you’d want with you at the beach, right? Well, not exactly. And we can understand why not; it’s one of the darkest books in the biblical library. Because of that, there have been some not-so-great interpretations of Job’s journey. So, in this episode, our hosts unpack the book. They give context about the narrative and chop up its themes and some of what it explores. For example, does everything that Job went through help explain away all of suffering here on earth, or is it just not that simple? Thank you for listening!
