The Book of Job | Stephen Mitchell

3 posts | 4 read | 2 to read

The theme of The Book of Job is nothing less than human suffering and the transcendence of it: it pulses with moral energy, outrage, and spiritual insight. Now, The Book of Job has been rendered into English by the eminent translator and scholar Stephen Mitchell, whose versions of Rilke, Israeli poetry, and the Tao Te Ching have been widely praised. This is the first time ever that the Hebrew verse of Job has been translated into verse in any language, ancient or modern, and the result is a triumph.

We ask ourselves why me? And why do bad things happen to good people?
Again I‘m not religious, but I can‘t help how beautifully written scripture can be. The descriptions are so creative. If anything it‘s a piece of literature that has been translated for people to love and enjoy. I‘ll just keep it at that.

Can we also agree that the cover art is beautiful?😍
