BCOTWP: Job

In this final volume in the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament
Wisdom and Psalms series, Tremper Longman offers an accessible commentary on
one of Scripture's most intriguing books. With his deft exegetical and
expositional skill, the resulting work is full of fresh insight into the
meaning of the text.






In addition to the helpful translation and commentary, this volume
considers the theological implications of the wisdom texts found in the book of
Job as well as their literary, historical, and grammatical dimensions.
Footnotes deal with many of the technical matters, allowing readers of varying
interest and training levels to read and profit from the commentary and to
engage the biblical text at an appropriate level. This built-in versatility has
application for both pastors and teachers.






I have greatly benefited from Longman's excellent new " translation and commentary on Job. He masterfully guides the reader through the
book's challenging, complex grapplings with the question of undeserved
suffering. All this grappling with suffering, he argues, is the means to a
greater end: debating and exploring the nature of true wisdom. In his
interpretations, Longman presents his own penetrating reflections and gleans
rich insights from the vast world of Job commentary. He has a rare, enviable
talent for presenting solid scholarship in well-written prose that is eminently
understandable and immediately relevant. I highly recommend this volume. " - Stephen L. Cook
