God's Perfect Man: Job's Story

Book of Job as it appears in the Hebrew and Christian bibles, is the canonically authorized text; appearing originally in Hebrew, followed by Greek, Aramaic, Coptic and English versions. There has never been widespread agreement as to what is the message of the Book of Job, nor even agreement as to what is the central question of the book.. Subsequent emendations and redactions have resulted in a puzzlement of interpretations. It is agreed by many reviewers that these alterations did not come from the hand of the original author, and that he had a different intent and conclusion than that imposed by the canonical text.
