Review of Seow, Job 1-21

MARTI J. STEUSSY IN THE CHRISTIAN CENTURY: The many Jobs. A review of Job 1-21: Interpretation and Commentary by C. L. Seow.
Seow’s commentary will not answer all your questions about Job, but it will help you appreciate how the book’s complex poetry reinforces its insistent questions. For professional scholars, Seow provides a wonderful entry into the massive literature on Job. For pastors and lay readers, he serves up a nourishing banquet of linguistic insight, historical perspective, and thoughtful theological reflection.
