Out of the Whirlwind: Creation Theology in the Book of Job

The book of Job is a complex, sophisticated treatment of the problem of undeserved suffering. It is also a sustained meditation on creation, on humanity's place in creation, and on God's ordering of creation. In this study, Kathryn Schifferdecker offers a close literary and theological reading of the book of Job--particularly of the speeches of God at the end of the book--in order to articulate its creation theology, which is particularly pertinent in our environmentally-conscious age.
