The book of Job presents its readers with a profound drama
concerning innocent suffering. Such honest, forthright wrestling
with the problem of evil and the silence of God has intrigued a
wide gamut of readers both religious and nonreligious.
Surprisingly, the earliest church fathers showed little interest in
the book of Job. Not until Origen in the early third century is
there much evidence of any systematic treatment of the book, and
most of Origen's treatment is known to us only from the catenae.
More intense interest came at the end of the fourth century and the
beginning of the fifth. The excerpts in this Ancient Christian
Commentary on Scripture volume focus on systematic treatment. Among
Greek texts are those from Origen, Didymus the Blind, Julian the
Arian, John Chrysostom, Hesychius of Jerusalem, and Olympiodorus.
Among Latin sources we find Julian of Eclanum, Philip the Priest,
and Gregory the Great. Among Syriac sources we find Ephrem the
Syrian and Isho'dad of Merv, some of whose work is made available
here for the first time in English. In store for readers of this
volume is a great feast of wisdom from the ancient resources of the
church with fresh relevance for today.
