The Book of Job: A New Translation

More about the book

This fresh translation of the book of Job from the Hebrew text stays as close as possible to the original language, while at the same time offering a readable English text. The book of Job is both challenging and inspiring. Job's experience of suffering is legendary, and it is an experience with which everyone can identify and sympathize. The biblical text is presented in its poetic form, so that the reader can observe the verse structures, figures of speech, and unique characteristics of this ancient masterpiece.
