Episode Description: The gloves come off. In the second cycle of speeches, Job's friends stop trying to comfort him and start attacking his character. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar paint a terrified picture of "The Wicked Man," implying that Job is hiding secret sin. Job responds by shattering their "karma theology" with a brutal look at reality and delivers one of the most famous lines in the entire Bible about his Redeemer.

Description: Zophar the Dogmatist closes out the first round of debate with the harshest take yet: "You actually deserve worse than this." But in the face of this arrogance, Job begins to look beyond the grave. In this episode, we find the first glimmers of Resurrection hope in the Old Testament as Job asks the ultimate question: "If a man dies, shall he live again?"

Key Topics:

• The Vending Machine God: Zophar’s transactional theology.
• Worthless Physicians: Diagnosing a crime that wasn't committed.
• The Tree of Hope: Job’s confidence that death is not the end.
