About How to Read Job
<p>We often turn to the book of Job when we encounter suffering. We look for an explanation for the questions "Why me?" or "Why her?" But what if it turns out that although Job does suffer, the book is not really about his suffering? </p> <p>If ever a book needed a "How to Read" instruction manual, it is the book of Job. And when two respected Old Testament scholars team up―both of whom have written commentaries on Job―we have a matchless guide to reading and appreciating the book. From their analysis of its place in the wisdom literature of the Bible and the ancient Near East to their discussions of its literary features and relationship to history, Walton and Longman give us the best of their expertise. They explore the theology of Job, placing it within Israelite religion and Old Testament theology. And they coach us in how to read Job as Christians. When it turns out the book is not what we thought it was, our reading is richly layered and more satisfying. </p> <p>Whether you are preparing for preaching, teaching, leading a Bible study, studying for a class or for personal enrichment, <em>How to Read Job</em> is your starting point.</p> <p>**</p>Review <p>"Walton and Longman, two seasoned commentators on Job, argue that readers should redirect their efforts from seeking in its pages reasons for human suffering to instead recognizing the lesson to trust in a sovereign God within the incongruities of life. The pious may not understand their painful lot, but assurance and rest come in accepting the wisdom of the Almighty. Thoughtful and accessible, this is a welcome addition to the How To Read series." (M. Daniel Carroll R., Distinguished Professor of Old Testament, Denver Seminary) </p> <p>"The book of Job is a weighty read at just about every level, from its language to its theology. Walton and Longman's <em>How to Read Job</em> is a helpful training manual for the task. Their treatment of the discrete interpretive issues is clear and concise. Taken as a whole, their individual discussions guide the reader of Job from an understanding of the book in its ancient context to its Christian application as Scripture. Walton and Longman take unequivocal interpretive stances on various of the book's conundrums, and they provide questions to prompt the reader to further reflection. The best feature of this short primer on the book of Job is that it draws one to read the book of Job itself rather than substituting lengthy commentary for the biblical text. Students, pastors and laity can all benefit from this delightfully accessible invitation to the book of Job." (John A. Cook, Asbury Theological Seminary) </p> <p>"This readable volume questions many traditional answers to Job. It also provides important perspectives on the book's interpretation. It is an excellent starting point for the reader of this great literary masterpiece of the Bible." (Richard S. Hess, Earl S. Kalland Professor of Old Testament and Semitic Languages) </p> About the Author
