The book of Job presents its readers with a profound drama
concerning innocent suffering. Such honest, forthright wrestling
with evil and the silence of God has intrigued a wide range of
readers, both religious and nonreligious. Surprisingly, the
earliest 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 collection 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 once again a great feast of wisdom from
the ancient resources of the church.
