Why is it important?
This is a rejoinder to a critical debate on the sophistication of the Prologue and is a new angle to the central issue of theodicy. It instead focuses on Job as central to this issue, rather than directly asking the question of God.
Perspectives
This is really a continuation of an avenue of enquiry in two previous articles, a thesis and a dissertation.
