About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of JOb, King James Version. Dramatic reading by various volunteers. The Book of Job is one of the books of the Hebrew Bible. It relates the story of Job, his trials at the hands of Satan, his theological discussions with friends on the origins and nature of his suffering, his challenge to God, and finally a response from God. The Book itself comprises a didactic poem set in a prose framing device and has been called "the most profound and literary work of the entire Old Testament". The Book itself and its numerous exegeses are attempts to address the problem of evil. (Introduction from Wikipedia) Sections are divided by speaker to try to maintain continuity. Therefore some are quite a bit shorter than others.
