Job: Evangelical Exegetical Commentary

“With a meticulous eye for detail, Duane Garrett masterfully untangles the complex intricacies of the frequently read but perplexing book of Job. Garrett’s exploration reaches profound depths, elucidating textual and theological insights that resonate in our modern era. This commentary stands as a monumental achievement, essential for those seeking a fresh perspective with the aim of further unraveling the tapestry of the book of Job.” —Dominick S. Hernández, associate professor of Old Testament and Semitics; director of Talbot en Español, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University

“Foundational for Garrett’s interpretation of Job is his welcome return to some often-abandoned traditional claims: the book’s origin in the Solomonic era and its compositional integrity, a reticence to emend the Hebrew text, a consistent but developing Job figure, and a primary focus on theodicy marked by multiple sages desperately seeking to uphold the retribution principle. By adding to these some more-novel hermeneutical perspectives … this commentary offers a fresh interpretation of a frequently misunderstood and consequently misapplied wisdom book.” —Richard Schultz, Blanchard Professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College
