Why do we suffer? And what sort of answer could satisfy our
disquiet? After being struck down by a series of disasters that
destroy his property and kill most of his family, and after being
afflicted by an atrocious skin disease, Job is moved to enquire
into the cause of his suffering. His friends blame Job's own
supposed impiety for his troubles. Job blames God. This dramatic
story from ancient times details the row between Job and his
friends, which ends when God himself arrives. Readers down the ages
have been shocked and delighted by this surprising and intriguing
tale. The American Standard Version translation, introduced by
philosopher Jocelyn Almond, has been typeset in the beautiful Doves
Type of the early twentieth century, designed for the quality,
hand-made editions of a private press. Doves Type was made in only
one size, the size used in this book.
