----------
Why must the righteous suffer? This is a question at the heart of The Story of Job. On this special episode, we seek out the answer through the visionary artwork of William Blake.
In 1805, William Blake was commissioned by his patron and friend, Thomas Butts, to create a set of watercolor illustrations depicting key scenes from The Book of Job. Blake clearly resonated with this 2,600 year old story—there are no other Biblical narratives which he dedicated so much time and energy to. What value did Blake see in The Book of Job? Let's find out.
