Perhaps no other biblical book is as linguistically difficult, weighted with as much theological meaning, and able to engender as much interpretive debate as Job. In dialogue with J.J. Kimche, Jon D. Levenson provides his insights into the book, from the rationale of Satan’s “bet” with God, to the possible significance of the characters’ unusual names, to the perils of reading the text through a modern lens, to the meaning of God’s mysterious “answer” to Job’s question. (Audio, 69 minutes.)
