I read where someone considered the book of Job something like that. He says "As satisfying as the book of Job has been to people over the ages, I have to say I find it supremely dissatisfying. If God tortures, maims, and murders people just to see how they will react-to see if they will not blame him, when in fact he is to blame-then this does not seem to me to be a God worthy of worship. Worthy of fear, yes. Of praise, no."
