Divine-Human Dialogue and Resolution in the Book of Job

By Ellie M Paley

Does the book of Job resolve? If so, how? Significantly coloured by postmodernism, the current conversation surrounding Job offers a fresh opportunity to chime in on these perennial questions. This book proposes and demonstrates a coherent, resolving reading of Job while also accounting for the reader's meaningful participation. Divine-human dialogue shapes the central issues of the book and furnishes a resolution that is fittingly relational. Along the way, the reader becomes invested through the filling of 'knowledge gaps, ' primed to be confronted, alongside Job, with a crisis of decision when God's long-awaited voice comes rushing from the whirlwind.
