Hidden Treasures in the Book of Job

How the Oldest Book in the Bible Answers Today’s Scientific Questions

By: Hugh Ross

Narrated by: Maurice England

Length: 8 hrs and 33 mins

Publisher's summary

Arguably the oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job has a surprising amount to say about some of the newest scientific discoveries and controversies. Far from a book that is just about suffering, Job is filled with rich insight into both ancient and modern questions about: the formation of the world; the difference between animals and humans; cosmology; dinosaurs and the fossil record; how to care for creation, and more  

With careful consideration and exegesis, internationally known astrophysicist and Christian apologist Hugh Ross adds yet another compelling argument to the case for the veracity of the biblical commentary on the history of the universe, Earth, life, and humanity. Hidden Treasures in the Book of Job shows that the Bible is an accurate predictor of scientific discoveries and a trustworthy source of scientific information, and that both the book of Scripture and the book of nature are consistent both internally and externally.

Wonderful insight and information

This is an absolute awesome adventure as you dive into the book of Job. We oftentimes only think of Job having tremendous hardships but never cursing God but there is so much more to be learned in the most ancient book of the Bible!

must listen

such great information. loved the reader. the content was packed with knowledge and backed by scripture.

A MUST read.

A GREAT book. A must read-not only for Christians. For all who have questions about God's existence, His ways, and about life.

Great for apologetics!

Hugh Ross is an intelligent and well-read author. His books are all astonishing. This look at Job serves as an abbreviated commentary and scientific scholarship. It has a few other great little anecdotes that really help you relate to Dr Ross that I don’t want to spoil here. The narration was the only thing I wasn’t crazy about. The narrator sounds like one of my old pastors. Great for an hour-long sermon, but it’s a little daunting over a long stretch. Otherwise, this is five stars.

PS. This book is nice regardless of your denomination or belief of the age of the earth

Fascinating insight on the book of Job

Fascinating information and insight on Job. I’ve always enjoyed Dr. Hugh Ross’s perspective. Definitely would recommend.

UNBELIEVABLE THOUGHT PROCESS

As a devout Christian there are times I am embarrassed by authors, Rabbi's, ministers, and priests who believe that they know, what no others know, and this is the theme throughout this book, concentrating on the man we all know as "job."
The liberties this author took in interpreting the life and troubles of Job, is near sacrilege, but we have had 2000 years of this interfering with the practice of praising God. I came to God through Jesus Christ, in a private way, and I truly love Him, and praise Him several times a day, and yet I am imperfect, and so is this book which I will return, as it is that ridiculous.

Interesting science strange hermeneutics

I very much all the scientific discussion. But I see no need for the author to package this in a book about Job. As his ideas of science and such are fine to me I am definitely not qualified as him, but his interpretation of texts is way out side of any reading conceivable from a ancient reader of the text of Job. For example the idea of stretching heavens as a way to say every expanding universe and big bang cosmology. This is mostly likely a reference to stretching out the sky/firmament in which stars in embedded often in these ancient cultures peoples who use tent language for example and this is more the meaning of the text but a 20th century scientific statement.
