Book Description

"[Glatzer] has compiled here some of the most meaningful modern commentaries on Job's theme. He has arranged them into those of the Judaic, the Christian, and the general philosophic tradition and has written a lengthy introduction in which he goes back to the Fathers of the Church, the medieval rabbis, and classical philosophers...It value is in its invitation to reflection on human fate and in the introduction to some of the most meaningful pronouncements on this subject. Highly recommended."---Library Journal The contributors are: Leo Baeck, Martin Buber, Yehezkel Kaufmann, Leon Roth, Robert Gordis, Margarete Susman, Hans Ehrenberg, Jean Danielou, Ernest Renan, H. H.
