The Pious Sage in Job

"The Pious Sage in Job stimulates the mind with a wide-ranging analysis of Eliphaz's role in the Book of Job. Dunham masterfully leads us step by step to the exegesis of salient portions of Eliphaz's speeches and their compelling theological implications. No student of the Book of Job can afford to neglect this significant contribution to serious Joban studies."

--William D. Barrick, Professor of Old Testament (Retired), The Master's Seminary



"Even though the book of Job plays an essential role in the theology of the Bible, it also offers many challenges to an interpreter of Scripture. Through his insightful consideration of Job, Kyle Dunham has provided students of Scripture with a great resource. His pursuit of the place of Eliphaz in the message of Job sheds helpful light on one's understanding of this challenging, yet important, biblical book."

--Michael A. Grisanti, Lead Professor of Old Testament, The Master's Seminary



"The Pious Sage in Job makes a scholarly contribution for understanding Eliphaz in the Context of Wisdom Theodicy. . . . [T]his work is perhaps the most comprehensive discussion of the reception history of Eliphaz. This is a welcome addition for Joban studies."

--Robert V. McCabe, Professor of Old Testament, Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary



"Job is a tremendous resource for helping hurting people. Its wisdom, though, is only mined by careful study, especially regarding the role of Job's friends. Kyle Dunham has provided a rich, helpful resource for understanding how God's wisdom is exalted in Job. If you love the masterpiece of wisdom literature which is Job, this book will help you read it more profitably."

--David M. Doran, President, Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary
