Episode on Job 32–37
Join us as Dominick S. Hernández (Talbot School of Theology) guides us through Elihu’s Speeches in Job 32–37. We discuss a number of issues in this text, including: whether these chapters are a later addition, Elihu’s contribution to the book, whether his words are reliable, his appeal to revelation, his misquotations of Job, and his anticipation of the divine speeches.
