The Book of Job in Form - A Literary Translation with Commentary

Fokkelman presents the Hebrew and the English text of Job in its original contours and proportions (412 strophes, 165 stanzas), weighs the poet's precision (who counted his syllables on all text levels) and redraws the portrait of the hero: integrity vindicated.
