Don’t worry, this isn’t one of those Buzzfeed quizzes – although perhaps I should make it one!

Abraham and Job are both tested. Abraham obeys unquestioningly. Job questions daringly.
How is it that people can point to Abraham as an ideal example of faith, and not mention that Job is also an example of faithfulness through testing – but whose response was very different?
