Title: Taking liberties
Product review: The author takes a lot of liberties in adding what he thinks are part of the Job story. For example, he says that when Job sat in the ashes that means he went to the dump and sat in those ashes. Since people in that time had fires outside (too hot to be in their homes) for cooking, it wouldn't seem reasonable for him to spend his time at the city dump. Also, he says that Job didn't have boils but probably had elephantiasis. Since the bible tells us that Job had boils and took a broken pot to scrap the wounds (i.e. open up the boils to drain) then it wouldn't seem logical that elephantiasis was his condition since it doesn't involve wounds that can be opened. There are many things like this in the book - things that he can't prove that detract from the book and even the story of Job.
