Rueben Philip Job

Rueben Philip Job (February 7, 1928 – January 3, 2015) was an American bishop of the United Methodist Church.

Job served several pastorates in North Dakota: Tuttle (1957–1960); Minot (1960–1961); Calvary Church, Fargo (1962–1965).

He held this position until he became the World Editor of The Upper Room devotional publication, a highly popular United Methodist ministry.

For years he had also been active in the development of spiritual enrichment programs and materials, the author or co-author of numerous works.

The 1984 North Central Jurisdictional Conference of the UMC elected Job a bishop and assigned him to the Iowa Episcopal Area.
