I recently double-checked the verses in question with my Old Testament professor (who has a decent understanding of Deuteronomy), at the request of Sooner.

Hey - you're perfectly welcome to bring up old topics. I just find it humorous that it's been so long in the archives, and is just now being pulled out again.


FWIW, I thought the whole thread was pretty ridiculous. Anyone who reads the bible should understand that what they think they're reading may not be what they're actually reading...

We're Mormons. We like to rehash the same hand full of topics week in and week out.

It was an unresolved question.

Also, Sooner told me to return and report.

Job taken as a whole provides very important theological balance to other books in the Old Testament. It provides particular balance to the "Wisdom Literature" in the OT such as proverbs where Retributive Theology is the primary theological viewpoint. Job provides a remarkable counterpoint to the "Wisdom Literature." People get hung up on the fact that the narrative is told in a very stylistic way. But the highly stylized narrative adds to the punch of the dramatic theological counterpunch. Job is a masterpiece.
