Ethical God-Talk in the Book of Job: Speaking to the Almighty by Adjunct Profess

Description: Ethical God-Talk in the Book of Job by Adjunct Professor William C. Pohl IV, William C. Pohl IV William C. Pohl IV investigates ethical God-talk in the book of Job, by exploring the prominence of such theology, showing how each major section of the book highlights the theme of proper speech, and demonstrating that Jobs internal rhetoric is the foundation for the books external rhetoric. Pohl analyses each of Jobs speeches for literary rhetorical situation, forms (i.e., genres), its rhetorical strategies; the rhetorical goals of each speech are identified in light of Jobs exigency (or exigencies) and his use of strategies is explored in light of these goals.Pohl argues that Job faces two main exigencies: his suffering and the necessity of defending his protest prayer vis-à-vis his "friends." Job seeks to alleviate his suffering with protest prayer, and to defend his prayers to the friends through argumentation. Following the internal rhetorical analysis, this study proceeds to examine the external rhetorical effect of the Elihu and Yahweh speeches vis-à-vis ethical God-talk. Pohl concludes that the book of Job shapes its readers to see protest prayer as an ethical, even encouraged, form of discourse in the midst of innocent suffering. Brief implications of this conclusion are outlined, identifying the books rhetorical situation through the "entextualized" problem in the book. Pohl proposes a new exigency for the book of Job in which protest prayer was eschewed, and a tentative proposal for the book of Jobs historical provenance is outlined.
