520 |a In this article the status of the Joban satan is revised in connection to the Divine Wager. The broadened scope of the wager sees a test of Job's and the Friends’ fear of God in the sense of self-conceit about God's will for genuine social justice. Is it obscured by presumption of grace and the ‘Just World’ delusion? The disillusionment of this self-conceit in the God speeches paves the way for repentance and restoration in the Epilogue. Thus the Joban satan is seen as adopting a more central role which is more consistent with that of a primary character. Fear of God, in connection to God's will for social justice, is seen as a major unifying theme in the overall composition.
