Excerpt from The Book of Job: With an Introduction by G. K. Chesterton Illustrated in Colour by C. Mary Tongue
Historical riddle. It is the philosophical riddle that concerns us in such an introduction as this; so we may dismiss first the few words of general explanation or warning which should be said about the historical aspect.

Excerpt from The Book of Job: With an Introduction by G. K. Chesterton Illustrated in Colour by C. Mary Tongue
This edition of the Book of Job, prepared by Professor Moulton for use in connection with lectures on the Literary Study of the Bible, has been shown to me in proof. I have been interested in it as a genuine attempt to introduce the English reader to the full literary form of the Hebrew classic. Of course, the details of such a mode of printing involve questions of exegesis which each commentator must decide for himself. But taken as a whole this presentation of the Biblical poem cannot fail to be an assistance both to the student and the ordinary reader; and it will be especially serviceable in any attempt to take in the complete work at a single reading.
