From the Introduction: "The book of Job does not promote silence
about God because we cannot say anything about him. Otherwise, this
book would never have been written. But the book of Job does bid
farewell to certain types of theology-and we need not bemoan their
loss: theology as the wisdom of the world projected into heaven;
theology as pious reflection on a higher being that then mistakes
traditional or innovative ideas about God entirely for God himself;
theology that purports to communicate direct revelation from God.
The book of Job distrusts and disbelieves all this to its core.
Instead, it states clearly that this is not God; these are only
graven images. Such fundamental criticism of all pseudo-theology
is-and here we can only agree with the book of Job-not the end but
the very beginning of theology." This book is not an attempt to
cover every angle and answer every question that we have about the
book of Job. Instead, Konrad Schmid, in the introductory chapter,
provides us with an analysis of the structure of the book that
helps us to see the book as a whole. And Manfred Oeming, in the
chapters that follow, provides clear snapshots of various elements
of the book, including a summary of the dialogues, Job's monologue,
Elihu's speech ("the Anti-Monologue"), Job's encounter with God,
and the destination (of Job's journey). Between them, the two
authors provide an accessible scholarly and theological approach to
the book that is richly satisfying.
