Synopsis
Robert D. Sacks has rendered the bold and vivid poetic imagery of the Hebrew original in English prose that is equally bold and equally
vivid—while remaining solidly grounded in the nuances of meaning and
diversity of resonances present in the Hebrew text.
The result is a translation often startling in its power and insight, opening
the way to a deeper undertanding of this profound and unsettling book.
Numerous notes provide enlightening but unobtrusive explanation of many
of the translator’s choices. In a separate chapter-by-chapter commentary,
Sacks offers sustained original reflection on the several characters, their
intentions, and their core beliefs.

About the Author
Robert D. Sacks received his undergraduate education at St. John’s College, Annapolis, Maryland (B.A. 1954) and his graduate education at The Johns Hopkins University (Ph.D. 1961). He also studied at the Ecole des Langues Orientales Vivantes in Paris, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, and the University of Chicago.
Sacks has taught at St. John’s College since 1960, at both the Annapolis and the Santa Fe Campuses; he has been a visiting faculty member at Middlebury College in Vermont and St. Mary’s College in California.
Sacks is the author of A Commentary on the Book of Genesis (Edwin Mellen Press, 1990) and Beginning Biblical Hebrew: Intentionality and Grammar (Kafir Yaroq Books, 2008). An earlier version of the present book appeared as The Book of Job with Commentary: A Translation for Our Time (Scholars Press, 1999); the present edition has been extensively revised.
