The Book of Job has its own peculiar and important place in the whole of God's revelation. "I am the Lord" is what one could write above the whole book. The echoes of this "I am the Lord: can be forund in the manoeuvring of devils and in the lives of the people we meet there. We need to know about this; we need to know about the Lord , and we need to know about the life of mankind. The knowledge contained in the Bookof Job is especially necessary in out time. More and more the needs of out time are impressed upin us. It is becoming increasingly clear that our lives consume us rether that that we are masters over our lives. More than ever it is necessary to know both the pluriformity and uniformity of lie. Ever increasing is the demand to understand "He is the Lord" in all its veriations and applications, for the questions and their answers around us take on a more fervent character with every passing day.
