A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Bishop Wapv Burton thus facetiously expresses himself in a letter to Dr. Hurd :P oor Job !it was his eternal fate to be persecuted by his friends. His three friends passed sentence of condemnation upon him, and he has been executed in effigy ever since. He was first bound to the stake by a long catena of Greek Fathers ;then tortured by Pineda ;then strangled by Caryl ;and afterwards cut up by Wesley ;and anatomised by Garnett. I only acted the tender part of his wife, and was for making short work of him. But he was ordained, I think, by a fate like that of Prometheus, to lie still upon his dunghill, and to have his brains sucked out by owls. Almost innumerable, indeed, have been the treatises, both in English and in foreign languages, published on the Book of Job, comprehending translations, commentaries, expositions, paraphrases, dissertations, etc. Of these, many are voluminous and lengthy. Witness the bulky tomes of Pineda, Caryl, and Wesley. One cause of this prolixity is the introduction of extraneous, irrelevant, conjectural, and supposititious matter, for which the Divinely inspired original affords little or no sanction. This remark especially applies to the published dissertations concerning the places of residence of Job and his three friends, the first subject to be considered. THE SCENE OF THE POEM :THE PLACES OF RESIDENCE OF JOB, ELIPHAZ, BILDAD, AND ZOPHAR. That Job was an I dumj Ean Arab has the authority of A ugustine. That he was an Arabian emir or sheikh, one great beyond all the Dr. Hales, in bis Chronology, computes the reign of Nimrod in Sliinar to have commenced in the year 2554 B.C., and the trial of Job to have occurred in the year 2337 B.C.
