Beschreibung:
Brian R. Doak is assistant professor of biblical studies and faculty fellow in the William Penn Honors Program at George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. His first book, The Last of the Rephaim: Conquest and Cataclysm in the Heroic Ages of Ancient Israel, was published in 2013, and he is co-author of The Bible: Ancient Context and Ongoing Community (2014).
Theologians and philosophers are turning again to questions of the meaning, or non-meaning, of the natural world for human self-understanding. The author observes that the book of Job, uses metaphors drawn from the natural world, especially of plants and animals, as raw material for thinking about human suffering.
