Title: The book of Job
Description: "The Book of Job addresses the most disturbing themes in the Western tradition: what is our place in God's creation? are the good rewarded? the evil punished? can we grasp the ways of creation or are they beyond our ken?"--BOOK JACKET.

"Job the patient sufferer, the afflicted man whose faith in God is finally rewarded, is a standard figure in our cultural heritage. But in this new translation by Raymond Scheindlin, a different Job emerges. This is the angry Job, who knows as we do that his suffering is undeserved, and who demands an argument with God."--BOOK JACKET. "With a practiced ear for Hebrew poetry and a deep understanding of the ancient Hebrew text, Scheindlin captures the fierce beauty of this poem."--BOOK JACKET.

"This edition of Job contains the entire book, including passages omitted in other translations. Issues concerning the integrity of the text, its meaning, and interpretation are addressed in the Introduction and the Notes, which guide the reader through this rewarding work."--BOOK JACKET.
