Job and Paul are also good examples of those who
struggle to come to terms with (what may appear to be)
divine injustices or even perversities. In the case of
Job, it's an old story.

These implications lurk (lurked) in the minds of many
people, both modern and ancient; it would stand to
reason that they lurked in Paul's mind as well. You
view Paul a bit too "purely" for my taste.
