Preface to Job

Psalm 127
Unless the LORD build the house, its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.
In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat--
for he grants sleep to those he loves.

This commentary would not have been possible without a long list of friends and enemies. Topping the list is my wife, Sunmi, to whom I owe my not only my survival at Westminster Seminary, but great credit in listening to the rough draft of this work many times yet showing unflagging enthusiasm for its completion. Two of my seminary professors will see much of their lecture material incorporated into this book, Dr. Vern Poythress and the late Dr. Ray Dillard. I only hope they are not distressed to see the use I have put their teaching to. Finally I thank the faculty of Boston University, who showed me the necessity of beginning this work earlier rather than later.

Te gloriam Deo
