Though the author of Job is not named or known, the book is reputed to be the oldest stories of the Bible. The book of Job also deals with one of the oldest problems of the human race, that of pain and suffering. In this unusual book the Bible pulls back the spiritual curtain and gives us a rare glimpse into the other-world interactions taking place in the heavenly realms. When Satan makes an appearance before God Almighty to request a shot at one of His most faithful servants, it begins a chain of reactions that will culminate in a appearance by the Lord Himself and a direct conversation between God and Job.
