In this study, Patrick and Scult are well informed on the theory of ''discourses as power'' but they do not linger over dense theoretical issues. Rather they show in concrete cases how discourse works. Their study of Job both puts such theory to good advantage, and shows us Job afresh. The book is lucid, disciplined, and accessible, a great help in time of trouble. (Walter Brueggemann)
