Description: Job by Edward L. Greenstein Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This revelatory new translation of Job by one of the worlds leading biblical scholars will reshape the way we read this canonical text Publisher Description This "bold new English translation" (Adam Kirsch, Wall Street Journal) of Job by one of the worlds leading biblical scholars will reshape the way we read this canonical text "A work of erudition with . . . a revolutionary twist."—James Parker, Atlantic The book of Job has often been called the greatest poem ever written. The book, in Edward Greensteins characterization, is "a Wunderkind, a genius emerging out of the confluence of two literary streams" which "dazzles like Shakespeare with unrivaled vocabulary and a penchant for linguistic innovation." Despite the texts literary prestige and cultural prominence, no English translation has come close to conveying the proper sense of the original. The book has consequently been misunderstood in innumerable details and in its main themes. Edward Greensteins new translation of Job is the culmination of decades of intensive research and painstaking philological and literary analysis, offering a major reinterpretation of this canonical text. Through his beautifully rendered translation and insightful introduction and commentary, Greenstein presents a new perspective: Job, he shows, was defiant of God until the end. The book is more about speaking truth to power than the problem of unjust suffering. Author Biography Edward L. Greenstein is professor emeritus of Bible at Bar-Ilan University and a prolific, world-renowned scholar in many areas of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies.
