A general overview of the Book of Job involves the story of a good man who suffers total disaster when he loses all of his children and property, and is afflicted with a dreaded disease. Then in three series of dialogues, Job's friends and Job himself react to all of these calamities. In the end, God Himself, whose dealings with mankind are a prominent part of the discussion, speaks to Job and his friends.

The friends of Job explain his suffering in traditional religious fashion. Since God, as they assume, always rewards good and punishes evil, the sufferings of Job can only mean that he has sinned. But for Job this is too simple of an assumption, since he feels that he does not deserve such a cruel punishment, because in his eyes, he has been a righteous person. He cannot understand how God could allow such a bad thing to happen to a good person like himself. Therefore he aggressively defends his innocence before God. Throughout the book, Job does not lose his faith in God, but he does desire to be justified in the sight of God and to regain his honor as a good man.

God does not provide Job the answer that he seeks, but He does respond to Job's faith by displaying His divine power and wisdom. As a result, Job humbly acknowledges God to be both wise and great, and therefore repents of the anger he had previously displayed towards Him.

Towards the end of the book, we see how Job is restored to his former condition, with even greater wealth and possession than he had before. In addition, God goes on to reprimand Job's friends for failing to understand the meaning of Job's sufferings.
