Book of Job, Expository and Homiletical - CCS by David Thomas and published by Classics Publishing.
In this volume the author has not sought to determine the question as to whether Job, Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar, and Elihu are historical characters, or are the mere creations of dramatic genius, nor have has he endeavoured to settle either the authorship or the date of the book. Instead the author is concerned in getting at, evolving, and systematizing the thoughts which the marvellous utterances contained or suggested. If there be “sermons in stones,” there must be sermons in human thoughts, whether inspired or uninspired.
A human thought is of all the phenomena on this earth the most wonderful, and significant, and the most deserving of scientific and devout investigation. The aim, in one word, has been to develop those ideas which are vital to man as man in all lands and ages, and to frame them in an order as philosophic and as suggestive as he could; and this for the purpose of making this ancient book a living power to all classes of thoughtful men. The theology that may be found in these pages, have not brought to the text, but from it.
