Excerpt from The Book of Job: With Notes, Critical, Explanatory and Practical
Through all the ages this book of Job has been dear to the most gifted minds and to the noblest hearts. Its high antiquity, antedating all other books extant; its poetry, un surpassed in beauty and sublimity; its appeal to man's deep est sympathies through its recital of sufferings so keen yet so mysterious; and the ever-living interest which human bosoms must feel in its great problems - all these elements conspire to give this book imperishable interest. Of course these features of the book avail to justify any worthy effort to throw light upon its historic questions, interpret its language, bring out its moral purposes, and so place its great moral lessons within easy grasp.
This grouping of aims will suffice to indicate the points to which my labors have been specially directed. I have sought to locate the book in chronology and history; to throw light on the question of its authorship; to show how the leading minds of that early age struggled and stumbled over the great problem of the sufferings of apparently good men, and how the Lord himself brought this great problem to issue in what we must regard as the ultimate and supreme moral pur pose of the book.
