Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Problem of Pain: A Study in the Book of Job Nothing that any one has ever said or will ever say about the book of job can remotely approach the titanic impression made by the book itself. It is therefore all the more to be regretted that it is so little known. "Ye have heard of the patience of Job." Many people have heard no more about Job than that, and do not even know enough of the book to know that it is his endurance rather than his patience that stamps him as the hero that he is, and that is commended in the well-known words of St. James (v. II). It is therefore at least as important to present the book as to discuss it. For this reason I have woven the translation continuously through the discussion, so that neither reader nor discussion can ever wander very far from the book itself. The glory of the book could not be altogether extinguished even by a feeble prose translation, and in many places it is quite clearly reflected from the noble prose of the Authorized Version. But I have ventured to present it, or most of it, in a fresh translation, which attempts to do what little justice is possible to the rhythmical and sonorous cadences of the original. I hope soon to publish a continuous translation of the book. The text bristles with difficulties and obscurities of every kind - many of them probably for ever insoluble.
