Leonard S. Kravitz & Kerry M. Olitzky 
The Book of Job [EPUB ebook] 
A Modern Translation and Commentary

Support

The book of Job is the most challenging–and most engaging–of all the books in the Hebrew Scriptures. It challenges one’s faith in the essential goodness of God and humanity. In this volume, Rabbis Kravitz and Olitzky provide an original, modern translation and commentary while also inviting classic rabbinic commentators of the past to provide insight to the text. Along with helping the reader to understand the original Hebrew sources, the authors also strive to answer some of the basic answers of human existence posed by religion: Why is there evil? Why do the good suffer? Why do those who do evil seem to go unpunished? Are acts of goodness rewarded?
