The Story of Job's Beginning is an analysis of the biblical narrative of Job 1-2, differing from other studies in its concern with the existing story and not its literary history. Through careful scrutiny of every detail, stylistic as well as structural, the tale is presented as a work of literary art. The author uses his method of "Total Interpretation" to reveal to the fullest the intent of the Biblical story, examining the expressive function of every aspect. Written primarily for teacher and student, it is offered to scholar and layman as well.
