Pre-order now! This book engages the theme of mediation in the biblical book of Job with a unique approach that examines the Hebrew language, the history of its interpretation, and a comparative literary analysis of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Both of these classics relentlessly subvert genre expectations in order to protest didactic religious instruction.

Sometimes we all need a good reality check from a close friend. But how do Job's friends hold up against Levitical laws? Perhaps Job's (and Alice's) imaginary friend can come to the rescue!

I wrote this news feature as a quick intro to some of the similarities between Alice and Job. Both of them must learn to speak truth to power.

The book of Job and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland are both famous for breaking the rules of genre and language. I argue that the breaking of genre rules helps Job and Alice become honest voices of protest, challenging the rules of authority and those who blindly defend them.

The differing arrangements of the Psalms found among the Dead Sea Scrolls have raised questions. In this investigation, I trace redactional activity in two specific psalms—Psalms 133 and 134—in two different arrangements to understand what has come to be known as the “shaping” of the Psalters.

Alfred Hitchcock says you always need two parallel stories in film making that meet at the end. The book of Job employs this technique to present divine revelation in a way that bends genre expectations.
