This collection of essays focuses on the book of Job, exploring the
complex interplay of methodology and hermeneutics. There are two
major parts: approaches that are primarily historical, i.e. the
recovery of what the text 'meant'; and those that are contextual,
i.e. that take seriously the context of reading. Both approaches
engage the theological issue of how this reading helps us to better
appropriate what the text 'means'. Contributors include the
editors, Mark S. Smith, Douglas J. Green, Victoria Hoffer, Ellen F.
Davis and Claire Matthews McGinnis.An introductory essay surveys
the contents and outcomes of the various contributions and proposes
new directions for the question of integrating methods.

The God of Second Isaiah, the Holy One of Israel, is
increasingly foreign to modern Anglicans, who are often
uncomfortable with the uncanny, fiery side of God. Unfortunately,
this may leave Anglicans frustrated both with God s non-rational
ways and with morality-centered Christianity.
The new research behind this book reveals Second Isaiah as
priestly temple literature, expert at the Holy and its coming dawn
on earth. Second Isaiah highlights priestly themes and quotes the
temple texts to help readers approach that which is utterly
mysterious. To study this material is to rediscover the
overwhelming, absolute worth of God. "

A fresh interpretation of the final major sections of the Hebrew
book of Ezekiel, chapters 38-48 Stephen L. Cook offers an
accessible translation and interpretation of the final sections of
Ezekiel. These chapters, the most challenging texts of scripture,
describe the end-time assault of Gog of Magog on Israel and provide
an incredible visionary tour of God's utopian temple. Following the
approach of Moshe Greenberg, the author of the preceding Anchor
Yale Bible commentaries on Ezekiel, this volume grounds
interpretation of the book in an intimate acquaintance with
Ezekiel's source materials, its particular patterns of composition
and rhetoric, and the general learned, priestly workings of the
Ezekiel school. The commentary honors Greenberg's legacy by
including insights from traditional Jewish commentators, such as
Rashi, Kimhi, and Eliezer of Beaugency. In contrast to preceding
commentaries, the book devotes special attention to the Zadokite
idea of an indwelling, anthropomorphic "body" of God, and the
enlivening effect on people and land of that indwelling.
Did Israelite Jewish apocalyptic literature originate among
alienated or disenfranchised groups? In this overview of
apocalypticism in the Hebrew Bible, Stephen Cook contends that such
thinking and writing stems from priestly groups that held power.
