Epistemology and the Book of Job

Edited by Oded Lipschits, Sara Milstein, Konrad Schmid, and Jakob Wöhrle.

Six essays by a group of scholars who have worked closely together on "ancient epistemology" in the Hebrew Bible and related sources over years. From the Editorial Introduction: »Our common research focus unites the different contributions which otherwise also represent a diversity of backgrounds, approaches, and interests. In other words, instead of everyone debating the meaning of one text in Job from the perspective of one epistemological concept in the idiom of one philosophical tradition, different but related biblical and philosophical interests mingle in conjunction with each contributor’s own interests and research expertise as first and foremost biblical scholars. The result is an original collection of essays on Job and epistemology, filling a distinct gap in the literature and aimed not only at having the last word on the topic but rather as a stimulus for further research«. - Contents: Jan Dietrich/Jaco Gericke: Epistemology and the Book of Job.
