Kudos, Dex! Being a biblical theme, you are sure to get some complaints. You did a well-researched, well-reasoned, and well-balanced job.
Nicely written piece.
I’ll probably go to Hell for this (if I’m not already bound for that place as an agnostic), but my favorite comment on God’s reply comes from George Bernard Shaw’s The Adventures of the Black Girl in Search of God: “That’s not an answer, that’s a sneer!”
Good piece Dex.
BTW, is the footnote derived from Davidson? Excellent book IMO.
This was a fine and very interesting report on Job, but I am puzzled as to why the words “prologue” and “epilogue” were egregiously misspelled as “prolog” and “epilog”. For a self-proclaimed bastion of learning and knowledge, it seems rather contradictory to use these bizzare lazy spellings. I wouldn’t expect to see “cigaret” her either.
Just two cents from a pedant. I was dissapointed; but then it is a dissapointing world for pedants.
