Free Job: Volume 19 (NEW COLLEGEVILLE BIBLE COMMENTARY: OLD TESTAMENT) Ebooks Online
The book of Job is a vivid testimony to pain, a plea for justice, and a wrenching theological debate about suffering and its causes. Central to this debate are questions about the roles that God and humans play in causing human suffering and whether divine-human relationships can proceed in the midst of overwhelming anguish. Like a riddle, the text grasps readers' minds and emotions, inviting them to participate in Job's story and to work toward their own solution to the dilemmas of both Job and his friends.

This is another excellent commentary in the New Collegeville Bible Commentary series. Short but compact, O'Connor gives descriptive commentary on each chapter of the book of Job without sounding preachy or too dogmatic.The sections are short and informative, and well edited.The only thing I'd change about the book would be the translation used, the New American Bible, Revised Edition. Chapter 3:1 of the book of Job for instance, reads.. "and cursed his day." (pg.15) A more accurate translation would inform the reader that Job in fact, cursed the day he was born. "His day" doesn't really convey the essential meaning of the verse.But overall, a short and easy readable commentary on one of the most perplexing books of the Bible.Another great release from Liturgical Press.
This is the first time that I've read the Book of Job with such applicable explanations! Having experienced several traumatic losses, Job was suggested to me on several occasions. This is the 4th time that I read it ... and believe that finally, I'll understand more. Thank, Ms O'Connor!
the editor did a very good job of writing notes to open up the story-- one of my favorites in this series
