This helpful series clearly explains and demonstrates the most significant methods of biblical criticism in both Old Testament and New Testament studies. Some of the most influential works and innovative insights in biblical studies have been based on one or more of these approaches to biblical criticism. Unfortunately, it’s easy to get lost in the technical theories and terminology without the proper orientation. The Guides to Biblical Scholarship series provides that needed orientation. Whether it is New Testament theology and narrative criticism or Old Testament form and literary criticism, this collection offers clear and concise guides to these influential approaches—enabling students of the Bible to engage the scholarly field and arrive at a deeper understanding of Scripture.

This volume analyzes how a narrator from the ancient Wisdom School portrays the deep trauma experiences of Job in his brutal relations with his God and his friends. These experiences range from the trauma of meaningless existence to the trauma of human oppression. Job experiences God as a celestial spy, an angry adversary, and Job’s potential murderer. As an innocent victim, Job seeks to take God to court but is frustrated by the inaccessibility of his God. Job experiences his friends as suffocating fools devoid of wisdom and as heartless comforters who assume Job is guilty of crimes and needs to make a covenant with God and repent. This analysis is informed by a contemporary trauma hermeneutic. After a long tirade of cries by Job against God and his friends, the Wisdom narrator intervenes with a brilliant Wisdom manifesto in which he raises the pivotal question “Where can wisdom be found?” The answer is not “in the mind of God” but “in nature.”
