Abstract

2 Job and the Lord of the East Wind J. Gerald Janzen jgjanzen@cts.edu 5335 Graceland Ave. Indianapolis, IN 46208 I seem, thro'great part of this most precious as most ancient Poem, ' to feel that the Clew of the argument is yet to be given. ' - Samuel Taylor Coleridge. So Coleridge wrote, sometime after 1822, in the margin of his Bible at the end of Job ch. 21.' So even the most intrepid of commentators must secretly feel, however decided their published interpretations. So it has been, at any rate, with the present writer. Rash enough to tackle Job in a full-length commentary,2 I have since then found myself, like Job, scratching chronically at a rash of questions that keep breaking out in new places just when I think I have achieved relief where I had previously been itching. A subsequent reflection on "Creation and the Human Predicament in Job" gave only temporary relief, as did a short synoptic reading, "Lust for Life and the Bitterness of Job," and a further reflection on "Job's Oath."3 The Georgc Whalley, ed., Marginalia L.
