PHILOKALIA MINISTRIES

Standing Before God with Empty Hands “Let him kill me if he will; I have no other hope.” — Job 13:15 Job has reached the place where religious language no longer works. His friends still have explanations. They still have theology. They still have certainty. They still believe suffering can be organized into neat categories of guilt and innocence, reward and punishment. Job has none of that left. All he has left is God. And God is the very One who seems to be destroying him.
