Biblical Commentary on the Book of Job Vol 2 of 2 - Classic Reprint Author:Franz Delitzsch INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF JOB. — JOB, maintaining his virtue, and justifying the utterance of the Creator respecting him, sits upon his heap of ashes as the glory and pride of God. God, and with Him the whole celestial host, witnesses the manner in which he bears his misfortune. He conquers, and his conquest is a triumph beyond the stars. Be it... more » history, be it poetry : he who thus wrote was a divine seer.
FRIEDR. HEINR. JACOBI
(Werlce, iii. 427).
IN this Introduction but little has been transferred from the Art. Hiob, which the Author has contributed to Herzog's Real-Encyklopadie. It presents a new, independent working up of the introductory matter, and
contains only so much of it as is required at the commencement of a Commentary. The Author's treatise on the idea of the book of Job in the Zeitschnft fur Protestantismus u. Kirche, 1851, S. 65-85, is recapitulatory rather than isagogic, and consequently of a totally distinct character.
