The Handbook on the Psalms and Wisdom Literature is part of the eight-volume Apostolic Handbook Series. Starting with his opening allegory on the often-difficult relationship between praise and pain, the author invites the reader to listen in on a life-changing conversation on the nature of wisdom—wisdom that is rooted in the fear of the Lord. The author’s commentary begins with Job, and continues with each of the Wisdom Books in canonical order, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon. This handbook is a rare treat; not only will you have a better understanding of the wisdom genre, but it will also capture your heart.
Handbook on the Psalms and Wisdom Literature edition by Jeremy Painter Religion Spirituality eBooks
One of the first questions that any avid reader wants to know is about the writer of the book. Since this book is a recommended book for reading to obtain ordination of the UPCI, many might overlook this, but other ministers from any other denomination might definitely want to know about the writer. I was also interested in knowing to search for ways to either esteem or criticize.Dr. Jeremy Painter is the author and his name just fits well with the work he has done for this handbook. He paints a very bright picture of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon. I will only comment about the book of Job.
Dr. Painter has a Doctorate in Literature from the University of Pretoria, South Africa, and a Master of Divinity in Practical Theology from Regent University. Besides his academic degrees, he also holds an ordained license with the UPCI. He is also an Associate Professor of English at Regent University and is faculty at Wilson University.
For me at a young age, reading Job was easy at the beginning and the ending, for it’s the story that intrigues. In the middle, the conversation between Job and his friends invites the reader to focus on what deems to be the philosophy of these men who served God painting Job’s conscience as black without evidence. Dr. Painter does not introduce any texts of Job, per se, in the material, except slight references; rather, he focuses on viewing from a literature perspective and probably one in which he uses quite often in his teachings at university. Because his work is not a commentary as others have written, it draws an offbeat perspective for any minister.
After completing the reading of this handbook, my mind could focus more attention on the conversation between Job and his friends as though what Dr. Painter had offered, hit me on the side of literature for a more improved look. And, upon completion of the reading, what came to mind was this: During this trial of Job came his best sacrifice for Israel and for the Christian church by his desire stated in these words in Job 19:23, “Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!” How awesome was God’s response to Job’s prayer! God’s answers become better than our prayers!
Dr. Painter states, “There are no time markers…” in the book of Job to figure out the timing of the book. Just meditating on this idea, a thought came to mind about what God told Satan in Job 1:8, “And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?” Because Job only lived 140 years, that puts him on this side of the flood and because Moses lived until he was 120 years, it might put his life before that of Moses. Further, God was busy with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the righteous people whom he wished to bless, probably before the time of Job. So, it is only my guess according to what God said to Satan and knowing that no other righteous person like Job could have been alive which takes out Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and that the life of Jacob was about 147 years when he died, this is probably the best time marker available. Thus, it is my hunch that Job must have lived while the Israelites were in Egypt and might have even been slaves during that time, clearing the way for God to say such to Satan about Job for there may not have been any Israelites or anyone else for that matter righteous like Job on the earth.
One of the hard parts of understanding Dr. Painter’s ideas concerning the book of Job is when he relates it to the remnant of Israel. “The story of Israel’s exile is in many ways the story of Job writ large.” As I thought about this, I thought that the people of Judah were told that they were being exiled for their sins. Thus, it was their rebellion that caused their exile in Babylon. Instead of comparing Job to Judah, why not compare Job to Jesus? Or Job to the Israelites in Egypt? As far as we know, the Israelites or Hebrews in Egypt did no sins to be put into slavery. God sent no-one their way to warn them of any sins as a group of people; yet, they were miserably treated. Later, they were given as a nation a much better inheritance. Or I thought he could have compared it to Jesus in that he received rough treatment from His own countrymen, but later gained that much more by becoming the King of kings and not just the King of the Jews.
Unquestionably, though, Dr. Painter really puts forth tremendous effort to view Job as “the first literature” book for Israel and for the world in regards to the only true God. There are many questions that cannot be answered here in this life, but surely, Dr. Painter has done a tremendous job of assisting ministers to think more deeply about this book of Job.
