Descrizione Joban Papers
In this volume, David J.A. Clines-known for his magisterial three-volume commentary on Job in the Word Biblical Commentary series (1989-2011)-brings together a sequence of 27 of his papers on his favourite biblical book from a variety of publications. In two sections, the wide-ranging Syntheses and the more focused Probes on particular chapters, this collection is a necessary adjunct to his commentary. Among the titles in the Syntheses are: - On the Poetic Achievement of the Book of Job - Why Is There a Book of Job, and What Does It Do to You If You Read It? - Job's Fifth Friend: An Ethical Critique of the Book of Job - Deconstructing the Book of Job Among the Probes the reader will find: - False Naivety in the Prologue to Job - In Search of the Indian Job - Quarter Days Gone: Job 24 and the Absence of God - Those Golden Days: Job and the Perils of Nostalgia - Putting Elihu in his Place: A Proposal for the Relocation of Job 32-37 - One or Two Things You May Not Know about the Universe - The Worth of Animals in the Book of Job - Job's Crafty Conclusion, and Seven Interesting Things about the Epilogue to Job
