Inhaltsangabe

Distinguished Old Testament scholar Roland E. Murphy turns his practiced eye and considerable knowledge to an often-overlooked book of the Bible: Job. He has written a short, succinct commentary on Job for undergraduate, Bible study and personal use. Although considered a masterpiece, the Book of Job may not have attracted the careful readership it deserves, declares Murphy, because of textual, translation, or interpretation problems. Here, he offers reflections on Job that are intended to prompt a more intense but leisurely reading and thus to achieve greater understanding and love of the book. After having preached, lectured and written about this work for many years, Murphy shares that "...the book of Job does something to me if I read it. It does give me an unmistakable new orientation to my desperation. I am no longer the prisoner, perhaps even of my guilt but especially of my anger, my rage, my grief, my despair, the total outburst of pain. Job has shown me the way..." With this insightful work readers will be shown the way as well.
