Thanks for the kind words!
I actually...Anonymous,<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words!<br /><br />I actually entered into my research very unsure as to Elihu’s role in the Book of Job, but by the end, came to conclude that he plays a crucial role in preparing Job to hear what Yahweh has to say to him.<br /><br />Also, I appreciated your mention of Rabbi Maimonides—I didn’t cite him in the paper but did come across his perspectives in my research.<br /><br />Thanks again for the comment!Luke Dockeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535787107819333194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30457405.post-36877707128464443542011-07-04T06:40:33.432-05:002011-07-04T06:40:33.432-05:00Thank you for your excellent work on Elihu.

I am forwarding your work to a couple of my friends. BTW: in Judaic tradition, Rabbi Moses Maimonides also consider Elihu to be the key to understand the Book of Job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30457405.post-48006824862412255432011-07-04T06:37:56.476-05:002011-07-04T06:37:56.476-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paul C Lee MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795447962548244774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30457405.post-59615040001499737402010-12-08T09:40:51.789-06:002010-12-08T09:40:51.789-06:00Justin,

It really was interesting to see the wide array of opinions on him. <br /><br />I've enjoyed studying Job a lot, and my perspective on it has shifted somewhat. Specifically in regards to the Wager between God and Satan in chapter 1, and the way that God <i>bets</i> on Job. The implications of that are mind-blowing to me.<br /><br />As far as publication…well, it's published on my blog. That's probably all it deserves. :)Luke Dockeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535787107819333194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30457405.post-30186882607326145142010-12-06T15:17:50.226-06:002010-12-06T15:17:50.226-06:00...

Well written, w...... I ... LOVE ... THIS ... POST.<br /><br />Well written, well done. I am first of all ecstatic to hear you talk about Job, and thrilled to hear more about Elihu. I have always liked this character, but have never done formal research into him. Thank you for presenting your hard work to us. Enlightening. I am pleased to see that you also feel that Elihu's place in Job is crucial (and that after extensive research). <br /><br />Look forward to reading more of your work. Are you going to publish this?Justin and Heather Blandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315729076207917712noreply@blogger.com
