God wants us to choose to love him freely, even when that choice involves pain, because we are committed to him, not to our own good feelings and rewards. He wants us to cleave to him, as Job did, even when we have every reason to deny him hotly. That, I believe, is the central message of Job.

Both are as much creations of the biographer, as they are of a novelist. We content ourselves with "authorized fictions. — Ira Bruce Nadel
