Some have questioned if job was a real person or just a story. If he was just a story he would still be an example of a priesthood man but I think he was a real person as he is spoken of in Ezekiel grouped with Daniel and Noah.
I remember when I first read the book of Job I saw a person who struggled from his afflictions much more than I had expected from the Sunday School stories. He maintained his faith in the face of great adversity but he did stagger at times under the weight of it. As I have experience more of life I have grown in my appreciation of that nuance.
