Job (The Jerusalem Bible): Book Discussion

(Book Review--The Bible, Religion, Reread, The Classics, Blogging the Canon) 

Part of my project to read through the Bible.  

(This is a reread.  I originally read this book in 7th grade.  But since this is my first time reviewing this book on this blog, according to my new rules, I'm doing this as a video only review.) 

Job (The Jerusalem Bible): Book Discussion

I explain about my background with the Bible and my reasons for doing this read-through in this blog post here: https://joelswagman.blogspot.com/2022/01/the-book-of-genesis-from-jerusalem-bible.html

Here are links to some of the stuff mentioned in this video:

* The Chewbacca Defense: https://youtu.be/aV6NoNkDGsU?si=a1-s-kFUdUpvL63d

* My review of the Old Testament Lectures by Christine Hayes: https://youtu.be/UFeqGtb3zAE

* Christine Hayes' lecture on the Book of Job: https://youtu.be/RxENRH-v0Xk?si=3w6p6fkXSFgqNmxy

* The Christine Hayes lecture on the creation story in Genesis (in which she mentions that the Babylonian creation stories appear in the book of Psalms and in the book of Job): https://youtu.be/ANUD8IK12ms?si=7coHnjnC9poAouNm

* Also, I didn't get around to mentioning it in my video, but this animated summary and explainer of The Book of Job is really useful: https://youtu.be/xQwnH8th_fs?si=PQn4gSvtaiOTDGlD
