A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Book of Job (ICC)
Overview
For over one hundred years, the International Critical Commentary series has held a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis—linguistic and textual no less than archaeological, historical, literary and theological—with a level of comprehension and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series. No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought. Editors at the Time of Publication: Samuel Rolles Driver, Alfred Plummer, Charles Augustus Briggs
Top Highlights
“The Satan] here, as in Zec. 3:1, 2, with the article, and therefore not yet, as it virtually has become in 1 Ch. 21:1 (without the article), a proper name. But here and in Zec., no less than in Ch., though in these three passages only in the OT, the term denotes a distinct and permanent personality, who was thus designated originally in reference to his function of opposing or accusing (cp. 𝔊’s διάβολος) men before God, before he had developed his later character (Ch., NT.) of tempter or instigator of men to act in opposition to God.” (Volume 1, Pages 10–11)
“That He does allow him to be tested, and, though righteous, to suffer, is simply the unexplained fact of life, as the author observed it, but which the current theory denied.—In thy hand] as Gn. 16:6: cp. c. 8:4.” (Volume 1, Page 14)
“and the day may be specified so as to bring Job’s godliness and his calamity into the closest connection (Dav.)” (Volume 1, Page 15)
“as such subject to and under the control of Yahweh and incapable of acting beyond the terms of His permission;” (Volume 1, Page 11)
“the person or persons in question are peculiar or pre-eminent in the class to which they are referred” (Volume 1, Page 11)

Unfortunately, the conversion of this book from print to the Logos format introduced many errors. Definitely not recommended until Faithlife fixes the errors.
