The hermeneutics employed in this work is partly referred to as hindsight hermeneutics, and upholds the resonance and dissonance between the Epilogue of the Book of Job and the preceding sections. Within the Theophany-epilogue continuum, rebuke and approval, retribution and its suspension, divine transcendence and accessibility are all held together. The dramatically discordant traditions in the preceding section are not interpreted as competing alternatives but as complementary possibilities for understanding the nature of the divine-human relationship and responding to the threat and reality of chaos and suffering.
Revised Ph.D. dissertation under the supervision of Professor C. L. Seow, at Princeton Theological Seminary, N. J. in 2004. Kenneth Numfor Ngwa is now visiting Assistant Professor of Old Testament at Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Indiana/USA.
