Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Open Court, Vol. 49: April, 1935
If the author had any desire to teach a moral lesson or lay down a philosophy of reward or punishment, he would have constructed his plot far differently. Instead of telling us the real cause of Job's suffering at the outset, he would have reserved that for the end, thus working up to a climax which would have been the clearing up of the mystery by the descent of God in the storm-wind, or why tell us at all of the wager between God and Satan? Let him simply state that Job suffers because God wished to try him.
