| Summary: | Front Matter -- Copyright Page -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Metaphor and Biblical Exegesis: a Proposal -- The Theme of Suffering in the Book of Job -- Suffering in the Opening Speech (Job 3): the Unrest of Being Imprisoned in Life -- Suffering in the First Speech Cycle (Job 4:1–15:16): the Loss of Hope -- Suffering in the Second Speech Cycle (Job 15:17–22:30): the Denial of Consolation -- The Suffering of the Poor in Job 23–31: on Morality in an Imperfect World -- Conclusion -- Back Matter -- Bibliography. In Metaphors in the Discussion on Suffering in Job 3–31 , Hanneke van Loon offers a new approach to the theme of suffering in the book of Job.

Van Loon claims that Job’s existential suffering ends in 19:25, and that chapters 23–31 reflect a process in which Job translates his own experience into a call upon the audience to adopt a new attitude toward the unfortunate ones in society. The theoretical approach to metaphors is based on insights from cognitive linguistics |
