Chapter 32 - Challenge
A younger friend dares to speak his mind against Job.
Chapter 33 - Refute
The young man says that Job is wrong to complain that God has treated him as an enemy.
Job is also wrong to say that God has refused to communicate with him.
The man insists that God's ways of communicating with us are many despite us not discerning them, perhaps by dreams or by the voice of warnings in their ears.
He claims that the accursed can repent and be healed.
*Divine Hiddenness*
On argument against the existence of a loving God is the question of divine hiddenness. If God is truly loving, why wouldn't he appear more often in our times of need? Job's friends suggest that God is not hidden and that he is waiting for a connection. But Job has been constantly petitioning for an audience with God. Does God only appear to those who are willing to obsequiously enter the shame cycle and debase themselves before God? Can God be considered good if his requirements for appearing harm human wellbeing?
