Job

Hey, just checking in. I'm going to put up a new Rewatch post soon. In the meantime I though some people might be interested in this great essay I found on the book of Job. Job is one of my favorite books, and I believe Lost has lots of Jobian resonance, especially in the S5 finale. Not to mention that it has exactly 42 chapters! Dun-dun-dunnn! Here's the link:

It's a good chunk of text, but it's an excellent overview of the books plot and its message. I've looked at a number of published commentaries on Job, and this is much better than most of them.
