Job 38-42 (Word Biblical Commentary)

Complete the Old Testament series of the Word Biblical Commentary with Dr. David Clines' monumental study of Job. Volume 18B  is devoted entirely to the response of the Lord from the tempest to Job, together with the replies of Job (Job 38-42), presenting the Lord's own explanation of his manifold purposes in creation and bringing to an unexpected conclusion Job's dramatic quest for justice. Difficult portions of the Hebrew text are thoroughly handled, but the commentary is written for the non-technical reader and scholar alike. Clines clearly explains the driving force of the argument and the drama of the book. The Explanation sections at the end of each chapter brilliantly summarize the views of the speakers and offer thoughtful reflections on their theological value. The volume concludes with a unique 350-page bibliography of virtually everything that has been written about the Book of Job, including its influence on art, music and literature. Features include: Complete translation, commentary, explanatory notes for the key passages in the Book of Job Thorough coverage of the languages behind the English translation Extensive bibliography gives sweeping coverage of all aspects of the Book of Job from scholarly books to art, literature, and musicClines, David J.
