I especially liked the parallels and allusions to Genesis, and the way the text contrasts Job with Adam.
Also, it's wonderful to be assured that what we have received as the Apostles' teachings are also given testimony in the Hebrew scriptures -though of course they more frequently quoted directly from the Greek version. What's reassuring is to be able to recover just a little glimpse of the OT foundation upon which the faith of the apostles was built. It seems that in our modernist scientific rationality we have somehow lost some of the rich theological perspectives that formed the rock upon which the faith was built.
Ans then, you also show that Job is truly within the tradition of the OT scriptures, in that it strongly alludes to Genesis in particular.
