[Rob · Rating 4 out of 5]

This collection of essays gives a variety of perspectives on the book of Job from different points in history.
Moreover, the reviews of MacLeish's "J.B." offer thought on Job specifically from Union Theological Seminary scholars in the 1950's. The exchange of these reviwers of "J.B." is a fascinating window revealing the way liberal Protestant scholars read both the Bible and the world at that point in American history.
