The Book of Job: A Literary Response

The literary aspects of the Book of Job add to the already adorned Bible as a repository of literature. A literary response to the Book without ignoring its inclination and subsistence within the Biblical world allows examining the narrative, poetic and prosodic aspects of the tale. The complexities of the genre of the Book and the linguistic techniques employed by the author to capture a gripping tale of human life and the relationship to divinity forms the basis for the formation of a classic.
