"Donald Kraus's exposition is eloquent, theologically sensitive and, like the book of Job itself, unflinching in its honesty. A masterpiece!"—Michael Coogan, lecturer on Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, Harvard Divinity School; director of publications, Harvard Semitic Museum"A wise, insightful and clear guide to this fascinating book.... An excellent companion to reading Job, either on one's own or in a group."—Carol A. Newsom, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, Emory University; author, The Book of Job: A Contest of Moral Imaginations“Kraus invites us to wrestle, like Job, with the hardest questions in life, about suffering, justice, fairness and the place of God in the midst of all of it. This is an excellent resource for adult education, personal enrichment, someone who wants more insight into a literary gem (Kraus’s translation is a wonder of beauty), or the seeker after Wisdom.”—The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop, Episcopal Church; author, Gathering at God’s Table: The Meaning of Mission in the Feast of Faith“The book of Job is one of the most honest books in the Bible, but readers need a guide … familiar with its twists and turns who can help us … to discover its wisdom.… Kraus … brings the text to life and the meaning to light. By all means read it. By all means ponder it.”—Rabbi Rami Shapiro, author, Ecclesiastes: Annotated & Explained
