| 520 | |a This essay reexamines Job 38:1–38, suggesting that the divine speeches may be interpreted not as rebuke but as an expression of God’s compassion. Engaging theological and literary insights, this study traces Job’s movement from isolation and anguish toward mystical communion with the cosmos. Grounding its interpretation in the nature and character of God, and in God’s ḥesed or steadfast love, this analysis argues that God’s response acknowledges Job’s suffering, affirms his belonging as a child of God, and reorients him within the vast and interconnected order of creation. Ultimately, God brings Job into the cosmos, where dust is transformed into a reflection of eternal light. Here, Job, and the reader, find hope within the intimate and eternal story of the Creator and creation. | ||
