Job is proof-texted a lot and otherwise didn't seem to make much difference in my Christian walk, so I needed to see how Walton dissects the content of Job and applies it to today. He asks good questions, does a great review of the original setting, challenged me in my own faith and what I expect from the Lord, and basically helped me find good ground upon which to continue being faithful within my broken world. I particularly appreciated the actual experience of Kelly who wrote her challenges with faith in the "Contemporary Significance" section as she lives with a disability caused by an early childhood accident, and how her disappointment with healing and medical options has shaped her faith. This book is an important study, and takes determination to follow through, because there seems to be a lot of overlap in the various arguments presented by Job's "comforters." Buy this book; study it; but be sure to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you see where you need to learn from it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thorough and Readable *by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019* I'm almost always pleased by a volume of the NIV Application Commentary, but John Walton's commentary on Job is absolutely outstanding. He excels at helping the reader understand the background cultural influences of the book. The book is readable, not overly technical, and captures the uniqueness of Job's literary genre. The application segments of the book are extremely personal as he follows the story of a young woman who has undergone her own journey of suffering. Walton balances simple explanations of the text with a more detailed exploration of certain topics. Some may find Walton's approach challenging, such as his discussion of Satan's role in Job's suffering. Still, this commentary offers a much needed perspective to the book of Job and is highly recommended to casual and mid level readers. Those looking for a detailed, verse by verse study should look to David Cline's 3 volume series in the Word Biblical Commentary series. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thought Provoking *by J***8 on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2013* This is my first commentary on Job. I bought it to teach a lesson in our Adult Bible Study (Sunday School) Class and Walton took me in an unexpected direction. His focus is on mankind's interpretation of God's system of "justice". His primary question is not "Why do bad things happen to good people?" but rather "What kind of God makes/allows bad things happen to good people?" I'd always thought that Job was just an example of a righteous man suffering in silence and being rewarded for that in the end but that's not the case at all in Walton's interpretation. Job is anything but silent and, while he stops short of "cursing God to His face" as Satan predicted, Walton shows that he accuses God of being terribly unfair (at least) and possibly even intentionally unjust. In the end, Walton explains that the problem with Job's/mankind's interpretation of God is the fact that we focus on God's "justice" and "reasons" rather than on God's "wisdom" and "purposes". If you are already a bible scholar, none of this may be news to you but as a layman in a "conservative" church, I found it fascinating and insightful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/8562378-job-the-niv-application-commentary](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/8562378-job-the-niv-application-commentary) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
