Lecture 3: The Voice from the Whirlwind
Slides for this lecture can be downloaded here.
In Lecture 3: The Voice from the Whirlwind, the silence finally breaks. A young man named Elihu steps forward—not to accuse like Job’s friends, but to reframe the debate. His message: God is just, even when His justice is inscrutable. Then, God Himself speaks from the whirlwind—not with answers, but with questions that reveal majesty, beauty, and divine presence. In the face of suffering, Job doesn’t receive an explanation—he receives communion. This lecture explores one of the most profound transformations in all of Scripture: from protest to wonder, from demanding justice to receiving grace, from hearing about God to seeing Him.
