Hartley is a respected and talented conservative scholar. In many ways this is the best one volume commentary on the Book of Job. It is both scholarly and accessible. It is detailed without losing sight of the main message. Hartley interacts with alternative viewpoints when appropriate, but manages to avoid doing so in a distracting way. This book contains good, helpful, solid, information from a moderately conservative perspective. It is highly recommended.

I love this commentary. It has just the right balance of scholarly exegesis and lay language. I appreciate his thoroughly Biblical approach to the text and to the difficulties of dealing with the issues the Book Job Job raises. I sense that a brother in Christ is leading me to greater understanding and appreciation of one of the greatest, if not most difficult Books of the Bible to grapple with as a believer. Thank you, Mr. Hartley.
