OverviewThis is an entirely new Tyndale Old Testament Commentary on the Book of Job, from W. Dennis Tucker, Professor of Christian Scriptures at Baylor University's Truett Seminary. Replacing Francis I. Andersen's much loved legacy volume, Tucker delves deep into the theological and exegetical work that has been done in the last few decades. The book of Job is all about human suffering. Its portrayal of one man's anguish, the ineffective responses of his friends, and his struggle for faith and understanding mirrors our own experiences in the world. Here is a careful, exegetical, theological and pastoral exploration of Job. The Tyndale Old Testament Commentary is designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text of the book of Numbers says and what it means. The Introduction to this commentary gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting and purpose. Following a structural Analysis, the Commentary takes the book of Job section by section, drawing out its main themes and also commenting on individual verses and problems of interpretation. Additional Notes provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. In the new Old Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: Context, Comment and Theology. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Dr W.
