Book+of+Job

Quote from book: "'Here.' Far away across town in the night, the faintest whisper of a turned page. 'The Book of Job.'"

Connections: Faber is reading Montag the Bible and talking to him through the Seashell Radio (earbug). He tells Montag that he will read to him so he remembers. Montag starts to lose the things dear to him, like Job does in the Bible.

Background info: Satan insists that Job only follows God because he is protected. He then asks to test Job's faith and loyalty, God agrees to this with only certain restrictions. Satan proceeds in taking away Job's children, money, health and happiness. Job is told by his wife and friends that he is suffering because of his sins, but he stays committed to God. He questions God and discovers God's sovereignty and the need to totally trust in him.
