Wes Morriston at the U of Colorado, Boulder has a philosophy page for people who like to think hard, with a link to his excellent Essay on Job.

Scott Noegel's Okeanos site has many good links for classical and pre-classical civilization with an emphasis on Biblical studies. He was recently Assistant Prof. at Rice U. in Texas, now at U of Washington Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations.

Dave Stewart at UC Berkeley actually produced Job as a play in the 1970's and took it on tour in Oregon and Washington. His considered opinion, though, is that while Job may have been read aloud for an audience, complete with gesture, it was probably was not played and definitely was not Greek tragedy - more Brechtian than Greek, if he is put to it. There is a reference to his article in the journal Jagnes 3:1 at his web page.

Jessamyn Birrer has a thoughtful essay on Job: "Tilting Whirlwinds - Suffering and Remedy in the Book of Job".

Prof Tom Costa at Clinch Valley College in Virginia has posted a whimsically translated short version of Job credit to Belle Tuten. I can't find Ms Tuten though. Anyone have a lead? I'm thinking maybe she translated the whole book in the same vein and has it stored away in a folder waiting to be rescued!
