The book of Job begins with a prologue (Job 1-2), which describes a wager between The Satan and God, in which Satan (the adversary) tells Hashem that Job (Iyov) –a particularly pious man–will abandon his piety and curse God if all his wealth and well-being are taken away. At the end of the prologue, Job has suffered many terrible losses, including his children and his health, but he nevertheless remains “patient,” refusing to speak against Hashem God.
The Book of Job and the anguished attempts of Job and his comrades to understand the ways of God have perplexed, stimulated, and inspired thinkers and philosophers for thousands of years.
Job is a righteous, wealthy and successful man, yet God allows Satan to bring upon Job almost unbearable calamities. His children and his wealth are all taken from him, and he is wracked with suffering.
The ideas in this Book are at the heart of the age-old question: Why do bad people prosper while good people suffer?
The many messages of the Book are wrapped in enigmas. Job's friends seek to convince his that he is actually a sinner, but they do not convince him. His arguments seem to overpower theirs. One wonders why they do not show him more sympathy. In the end, God Himself comes to blunt Job's challenge.
Job accepts, not because of logic, but because he realizes that he is mortal and cannot understand Divine wisdom or Divine justice.
Ultimately, God grants Job even greater wealth, a fruitful family, and long life.
The messages and concepts of the Book of Job are timeless, and this insightful and enlightening treatment belongs in every home and library.
For most people, Tanach is something they studied a smattering of when they were too young to understand it. The result is that we have vague recollections of some of the narratives, and even less comprehension of its messages. But the Talmud tells us that the Books of the Prophets contain only prophecies that were needed by future generations. This new commentary not only brings the verses alive, it does so in such a way that they are actually speaking to us — in language, in outlook, in aspiration for spiritual growth.
