Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Strange Ways of God: A Study in the Book of Job This little book is not in any sense a commentary upon or a critical exposition of the book of Job. The larger part of the material was originally used in a series of lectures intended for a popular audience and designed to increase the interest in, and to aid in a better understanding of this ancient poem. The literary quality of the book of Job is such as to give it a high place among the worlds masterpieces, but the many faulty translations in the Authorized Version, the ill-considered arrangement of the parts of the poem as to their literary form in an ordinary copy of the Scriptures, and a widespread misconception as to the main purpose of the argument, have tended to obscure its beauty. In the main I have used the translation given in the Revised Version and the literary arrangement found in Moulton´s Modern Reader´s Bible, Here and there, however, I have used my own paraphrase where it seemed to me the essential meaning could be more clearly rendered. I have occasionally quoted together lines which stand apart in the text, without the insertion at the customary marks, but in this I am sure no violence has been done at any point to the authors meaning, nor has the essential course of his argument been in any wise disturbed.
