Description: "The Hebrew Bible contains many examples of protest or complaint against God. There are classic cases in the psalms of the individual lament, but we find the same attitude in community complaint psalms, in the prophetic challenges to God, and in the Book of Job. This intellectual history will be welcomed for its scope, its panache and its theological engagement."--Jacket.
