Excerpt from The Book of Job: With an Introduction and Notes for Bible Classes in Colleges, Christian Associations, Young People's Societies, and the Private Student
Others regard it rather as epic in form and substance. Says Professor Genung, Whatever its technical type, the poem is the embodiment Of a veritable epos Of a history which lies at the very basis Of pure religion, full Of significance for its integrity and perpetuity. We know that no other nations have ever approached the Hebrews in their genius for apprehending spiritual truth. If the Jews were to give to the world an epic, would it be a story Of battle and bloodshed, or Of strange adventures beyond the sea? These by no means represent their national character. For the most genuine expression Of their life you must look under the surface, in the soul.
