Job 38-42 Word Biblical Commentary Volume 18B By David Clines is the fourth book in the Job word commentary series by Clines. Volume 17 covered Job 1-20, Volume 18A covered Job 21-37 and this final Volume 18B completes the coverage of the Book of Job with Job 38-42. Of the 3 books, this one is probably the most interesting, as it covers God's reply to Job's question of why he is sufferring. And for those familiar with Job and God's response, this book upholds the normal answer "Just because He IS God and how who is Job to question God?"
I found this book to be way above the average reader's interest or head. It is very college-oriented and would bore most readers. A good majority of the book is UNREADABLE - About half the book is detailed end notes and references! You actually only get a small portion of the book as commentary. And even that part of commentary is difficult to read and a bit painful, unless you are SUPER into technical biblical word interpreations. Otherwise, for the average reader, this stuff will bore you silly.
I guess I would recommend this book to those into college-level bible translations but for the average reader, this could never interest you.
Disclaimer: I gave my honest review. I received this book from the publisher but a positive review was not required
