Reviews

""This is a sophisticated and masterly account with exegetical insight for studying the Book of Job and for doing theology."" --Mark W. Elliott, University of St Andrews. ""The task of biblical interpretation has increasingly reached beyond the historical-critical method in an attempt to allow the Bible to become 'present' in an enriching way to modern readers. The history of the interpretation of Scripture, or reception history, has become an important element in this task. Andrew Lewis shows that the ongoing 'dialogue' with past intepreters is crucial for reading the ever-enigmatic Book of Job. In choosing the story of Job, the author tackles a book that has fascinated interpreters throughout its history because the questions it raises have remained central to both the Jewish and Christian traditions. Concentrating on Kierkegaard, Vischer, and Barth, Lewis provides us with an enlightening and significant strand of Joban interpretation, one that continues to challenge us today."" --Susan Schreiner, University of Chicago Divinity School
