| Summary: | Views differ considerably as to how God fares in the Divine Speeches (Job 38: 1- 42:6). Some are convinced that here at the climax of the book of Job God's (irrelevant) answer only 'bullies' Job into submission. Others view God as the everloving teacher, patiently instructing his ignorant student Job. So, how does he really fare? To determine what is being 'done' with the text the focus is on the rhetoric conducted 'between the lines' and 'behind the lext'. Attention is paid especially to the design and movement in the book of Job, rhetorical situation, literary significances and rhetorical devices, the notions of implied author and implied reader and argumentation. |
