Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Job: A Revised Text and Version
Thus the main, if not the only, motive of the writer would seem to be to discourage mankind from striving to penetrate the impenetrable secrets of God to bid them recognize the limits of human understanding and abstain from all attempts to lay down rules for the Divine action even in the name of justice and Right. Such inquiries are futile and lead nowhere. The subject is 'high as Heaven, deeper than She'ol'. Man must acquiesce in the dealings of Providence, assured that in the end everything will come right (cf. The story of joseph).

Excerpt from The Book of Job: A Revised Text and Version
In responding to Dr. Ball's request that I should write a preface to his commentary on the Book of Job I feel very strongly that I run the risk of appearing lightly to commit an act of intolerable assumption. Dr. Ball was well known as an accomplished Hebrew scholar when I was a child in the nursery. He guided my first steps in the study of Hebrew; and throughout my life I have been and still am his pupil, gaining from him a store of knowledge and inspiration for which it is impossible adequately to express my obligation. All Hebrew scholars who matter are well aware of his preeminent gifts, and will joyfully welcome his detailed and critical discussion of the most difficult book in the Old Testament. If, theft, I undertake the task which gratitude and affection forbid me to decline, I must be understood to be addressing myself to younger scholars to whom Dr. Ball's reputation may not be so familiar as it is to an older generation.
Perhaps the most striking characteristic of the present commentary is its originality and freshness. The writer does not profess laboriously to have studied and digested the works of all former scholars upon the Book of Job; I suspect indeed that there are; many such which he has not troubled to consult. This, in my opinion, is all to the good. Biblical exegesis labours under the burden of volumes which are, mainly if not wholly, commentaries upon other commentaries. Such a Rabbinic method of exegesis, if intelligently performed, has a certain value; yet it can hardly be doubted that it has a serious tendency to stifle originality of thought, and not seldom (we may suspect) it is the mark of the kind of scholarship which is incapable of reaching original conclusions.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of human suffering and the seemingly paradoxical nature of divine justice. It takes as its central theme the story of Job, a righteous man who endures unimaginable misfortunes. The author examines Job's profound questions about God's actions and motivations, exploring the tensions between a belief in God's omnipotence and the reality of seemingly unmerited suffering. Drawing upon the rich tapestry of ancient Hebrew literature, the author positions Job's struggle within a broader context of religious and philosophical thought. The book delves into the contrasting perspectives of Job and his friends, each grappling with the enigma of suffering and the implications for their understanding of God's character. Through a detailed analysis of the text and its ancient versions, the author illuminates the thematic depth of the story, exploring concepts of justice, retribution, and the limits of human understanding. The book also considers the role of the natural world in the broader context of the divine, highlighting the author's belief that Godââ â¢s ways remain ultimately unknowable to human beings. Ultimately, this book offers a profound and enduring meditation on the mystery of suffering and the enduring faith of a man grappling with the incomprehensible. It invites readers to consider the limits of human knowledge and the enduring power of faith in the face of the unknown. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
