The Remarkable Record of Job: The Ancient Wisdom, Scientific Accuracy, and Life-Changing Message of an Amazing Book

The best exegesis I have seen on the Book of Job. This is an easy, yet absorbing read. Every christian should have this in their library. Henry Morris was an exceptional teacher.

This book is interesting, intelligent, and insightful. Dr. Morris' education comes out in a very pleasing manner, and a very understandable one. Dr. Morris does not embrace the popular view that the book of Job was written to teach us how to suffer and why God allows it. His argument is very persuasive. This became a source of conversation and debate for me and my friends. Dr. Morris pretty much goes through the book chronologically, which works well. It ended up being like a supplementary devotion for me to read it, and so interesting and exciting! It was never a burden to read. I had certainly read the book of Job before and heard some teaching on it. However, this was deeper, better, more focused and applicable. Highly recommended.

With his heavenly gifts, Henry Morris has offered much to the modern Biblical discussion, and this book is no exception. Christians like the reviewer below seem to be in the middle of a tug of war between so-called science and Christianity - they believe that modern science is completely accurate and therefore must find a way for it to be synronized with the Biblical record. The claim seen in this misguided reviewer's comments that the big bang is in line with the Genesis record of creation "ex nihilo" (out of nothing) shows a misunderstanding of both the Bible and the big bang theory. There isn't a single big bang theorist on earth who believes that the universe erupted out of nothing; rather, the theory dictates that it would have been erupted from a small dot of unimaginably large mass. Mass is something, not nothing. There is nothing in the Bible that would indicate that we should interpret the creation account in any way but a literal sense. As other reviewers have pointed out, the Bible contains a variety of prose with obvious interpretations of each; though some is symbolism that must be deciphered, all is fact and divinely inspired.

The "reader from boston" writing the first review of this book needs to be slapped around like a traitor. All Morris is doing is giving the scientific realities of stories in Scripture. About the days of creation, well, anyone who has read the account and has any form of knowledge in their head will know that the creation days are literal days (evening and morning were the first day). Now, I agree that the Bible is not to be taken literally in every word in every passage but that does not mean that it sometimes can be taken literally and is meant to be taken literally. Why would Moses want to communicate anything different or confusing to the people by saying "days" which the Hebrew word means "24 hour day" Before you start criticizing true biblical scholars, you might want to get an education.

This book is a very refreshing devotional. Take an exciting new look at the oldest book in the Bible - the ancient book of Job! Learn about how Job lived during the Ice Age and describes dinosours that he has seen (Beheemoth and Leviathon)! Henry Morris is a world famous Christian scientist, and this book is written as well as his many others. I highly recommend this book to any born-again Christian!

This book is a very refreshing devotional on the book of Job. It is written exceptionally well, just like every other work Henry Morris has published. Take a look at the wonderful book of Job from a new perspective. Examine both the scientific and theological aspects of Job. Learn about how Job describes the Ice Age (during which time he lived) and dinosaurs! I highly recommend this book to any born again Christian!
