      This Old Testament Book, which has been translated in over 2000 languages and printed in over a billion copies, makes the character of Job well known all over the world.
The leading English poet, Alfred Lord Tennyson, praised this book as the:
"... greatest poem of ancient and modern times."
Tennyson’s opinion about this book was shared by Victor Hugo, who wrote:
"Tomorrow, if all the literature was to be destroyed and it was left to me to retain one work only,
      I should save Job".
     The Book of Job has been written in a dialect distinct from the Jerusalem dialect, used for most of the Old Testament. In the opinion of Sir John William Dawson, Canadian scientist of worldwide reputation, the language and theology of the Book of Job can be better explained by being a portion of Minaean [Southern Arabia] literature obtained by Moses in Midian than in any other way.
      There is a general opinion that Job himself was the author of the book. This is supported by the date of the events in the book, which leans toward a patriarchal age. The foreign tone of the book also indicates that it could have been written by Job, (Arabic words, nomadic habits, illustrations from sandy plains, awareness of nature and the arts).
It was also Job’s desire to preserve the story of his trial. In the Book of Job, Ch.19, ver. 23-24 Job says:      "23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
                  24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!"
