A conservative commentary on Job of moderate plus depth. Focuses on the Hebrew text, includes textual difficulties. I highly recommend this to anyone who has not studied the book of Job and desires to understand this fascinating ancient text.
As a student of Dr. Hartley, I know first-hand how capable he was and how difficult this commentary was to write. We did exegesis assignments and Hebrew word studies from the original texts he used to produce this commentary. This is not a popular commentary, but it is one that real scholars use. Dr Hartley is well known for his works within the field. Fluent in six languages including able to read cuneiform on-sight. This book on Job contains the hard stuff many commentaries avoid.
