The Book of Job deals with a variety of issues, on levels both
superficial and profound. It has been the subject of scholarly
debate and analysis ever since its inclusion in the Hebrew Bible.
Scholars and theologians have set forth a variety of theories to
explain the "human condition" and justify the actions of the Divine
toward humanity. The material differences in attempts by scholars
to translate the Book of Job are evidence that these theories
cannot be supported. The author of the Book of Job employs a unique
intertextual code. The code hides a sophisticated agenda that
includes not simply the interaction of the Divine and humanity, but
also the quality of this interaction. The programmatic
investigation by the author reflects also contemporary
politico-religious conflicts among Jews of 2nd Century BCE
Palestine. Dr. Wilson uncovers the intertextual cipher and opens
the window to a single coherent solution to the meaning and intent
of the Book of Job.
