“Look At Me and Be Appalled”. Essays on Job, Theology, and Ethics

Samuel E. Balentine is Professor of Old Testament Emeritus at Union Presbyterian Seminary. He is the author of numerous essays and books on Job, including a major commentary (Job, 2006) and Have You Considered My Servant Job: Understanding the Biblical Archetype of Patience (2015).

“The volume also is sprinkled with fourteen colour images, illustrating Balentine’s commitment to broad study and integration of art and literature which infuses his work with insightful depth. The gift of this collection of essays is its invitation to the reader to wrestle with the God of the book of Job, with whom Balentine has been wrestling for many years in order to grasp a blessing.” – Brittany N. Melton, Palm Beach Atlantic University, USA, in: Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Volume 46, Issue 5, June 2022.
