Item description from seller

Very Good. First English language edition. 12mo, 92, [4] pages, green cloth The American issue of the British sheets. Giran has re-imagined Job as a current-day resident of Holland, whereat he is beset upon by the same life drama as the biblical Job. "The book is alive, and the ideas propounded seem actually to have become incarnate in Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar. . The reader is irresistibly attracted by the strong and noble eloquence of a thinker whose simple style and intense loyalty to truth should provea rare stimulus to lofty endeavor and devoted purpose in these troublous times.". Giran was a french Protestant pastor, with creative imagination. A truly engaging dialogue. Paul Carus' Open Court is the era's philosophical publisher.
