For Francis Andersen, the Old Testament book about Job is one of the supreme offerings of the human mind to the living God, and one of the best gifts of God to humanity.

An Introduction and Commentary

by Lindsay Wilson
In many ways, Proverbs is similar to the wisdom literature of the wider ancient Near East.
