Synopsis

"A New Translation Of The Book Of Job: With An Introduction, And Notes Chiefly Explanatory" by George Rapall Noyes presents an English edition of the classic Hebrew poem Job, containing a new translation, an introductory study, and extensive explanatory notes. The work, originally published in 1861 by James Munroe and Company, aims to illuminate Job’s story, its philosophical problem of suffering, and the Hebrew-poetic framework. The volume includes the historical introduction, discussion of authorship, dating, and setting, and a synopsis of the book’s structure (prologue, dialogues, and final divine speech and restoration). The notes supply philological commentary, textual variants, and cross-references to biblical literature and classical parallels. The editor-level Preface explains revision history and the relationship to Noyes’s broader biblical-prophetic translations, and the Introduction surveys the poem’s unity of design, its genre as a moral-philosophical work, and the debate over the authenticity of the Elihu passages. This edition serves as a guide to readers seeking both translation and interpretation of Job’s universal themes.
