The Book of Job A Contest of Moral Imaginations
Newsom, Carol A (Professor of Old Testament, Professor of Old Testament, Candler School of Theology)
In this brilliant new study, Carol Newsom illuminates the relation between the aesthetic forms of the book of Job and the claims made by its various characters. Her innovative approach makes possible a new understanding of the unity of the book; she rejects the dismantling of the book by historical criticism and the flattening of the text that characterizes certain final form readings.
