Christianity accepts the Book of Job as canon in its [[Old Testament]]. In addition, Job is mentioned in the [[New Testament]] of the Christian Bible: the [[Epistle of James]] {{bibleref2|James|5:11|NIV}} paraphrases Job as an example of patience in suffering.

Job's declaration, "I know ''that'' my redeemer liveth", {{bibleref2|Job|19:25|NIV}} is considered by some [[Christian]]s to be a proto-Christian reference to [[Redeemer (Christianity)|Christ as the Redeemer]], and is the basis of several Christian [[hymn]]s, as well as the opening scene of [[Messiah Part III#Scene 1|Part III of Handel's Messiah]].
