Clement of Alexandria, Priest and Theologian, c. 210

O God of unsearchable wisdom, you gave your servant Clement grace to understand and teach the truth as it is in Jesus Christ, the source of all truth: Grant to your church the same grace to discern your Word wherever truth is found; through Jesus Christ our unfailing light, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Fr Austin leads this on-going study of the Book of Job. This is repeat of the Sunday morning class, which meets at 10am.

The book of Job is not just one speech after another, without any progression of thought. A careful reading uncovers many riches. After chapter 25, the dialogue between Job and his friends has completely broken down. When we try to understand suffering, we reach a place where we just can’t reason any further. What then happens? Therein is the brilliance of this book. Newcomers are welcome to the class every week.
