Summary: This study starts from the position that the Book of Job is a work of literary art, as well as a religious and historical text. Drawing on deconstruction's pleasure in indeterminacy, the author asks how the text of Job plays with meaning and language, how it discloses its patterns of words in all their multiple possibilities. Good offers numerous insights into the meaning of the Hebrew of the Book of Job, and makes observations about irony, sarcasm, and wordplays found in the text. The commentary not only examines the dynamics of the narrative and significance of the speeches, but also contains Good's own argument with literary points made by some of the other prominent commentators on Job. Good also provides historical, rhetorical, and linguistic references, citations, and allusions for the whole text.
