Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Job: With an Introduction and Notes for Bible Classes in Colleges, Christian Associations, Young People's Societies, and the Private Student
Others regard it rather as epic in form and substance. Says Professor Genung, Whatever its technical type, the poem is the embodiment Of a veritable epos Of a history which lies at the very basis Of pure religion, full Of significance for its integrity and perpetuity. We know that no other nations have ever approached the Hebrews in their genius for apprehending spiritual truth. If the Jews were to give to the world an epic, would it be a story Of battle and bloodshed, or Of strange adventures beyond the sea? These by no means represent their national character. For the most genuine expression Of their life you must look under the surface, in the soul.

Excerpt from The Book of Job: With an Introduction and Notes for Bible Classes in Colleges, Christian Associations, Young People's Societies, and the Private Student
This book represents the experience of the college recitation-room. No part of the one year devoted to the study of the Old Testament has been more interesting, and, I believe, more profitable, than that given to the Book of Job. Naturally, the Bible has never had more exacting readers than those found in our colleges and universities. From actual experience, I have found that none can possibly be more appreciative of its literary value. It is to be hoped that for this reason, if for no other, the Bible will soon be given a place in the curriculum of every college in the land.
All scholars are agreed that the Hebrew of the Book of Job is exceedingly difficult. It was Luther who said, "Job is suffering more from my version than from the taunts of his friends." For this reason many commentators have made their own translation, seeking to bring out as each is able to understand it the genius and suggestiveness of the language.
The present work is based upon the Revised Version, with many of the preferences of the American Old Testament Revision Company incorporated in the text. The divisions into chapters are indicated in the margin simply for convenience of comparison with the Authorized and Revised versions. The paragraphs or sections of the text are made not with reference to the parallelism of Hebrew versification, a feature altogether too technical for the average student of literature, but rather with regard to due subordination of the thought and ease of interpretation.
The feature to which special attention is called is that of the supplementary readings at the lower margin on each page. These readings are from three separate translations, and furnish to the reader at a glance the most striking differences in the attempt to convey in English the sense of the original. Professor John F. Genung, in a letter to me, says of his translation that it "differs from the current one generally in the direction of greater literalness.
