Arguments of Job's Three Friends, The  David JA Clines offers an application of certain methods of rhetorical criticism in the broadest sense to rhetoric in a narrower sense in an endeavor to show that awareness of rhetorical devices can lead to large-scale exegetical gains, and can help to preserve the interpreter from major errors.

Disjoined Body, The: The Body and the Self in Hebrew Rhetoric  David JA Clines  examines Job's imposing of a covenant of obligation on himself as if he were the master and his body the servant in a disjunction of mind and body. Job calls down punishment on himself and is distanced from his body.

Quarter Days Gone Job 24 and the Absence of God  David JA Clines  examines Job's complaint that God allows wrongs to continue unchecked and never brings offenders to book.

Job and the Perils of Nostalgia (Job 29 - 31)    David JA Clines asks if  perhaps in Job's  nostalgic reminiscences he tells us more about himself than he really knows, more indeed than we ourselves would really like to know?
 

Job and the Spirituality of the Reformation   David JA Clines with many a different commentary on Job written  rather than patronizing our predecessors we might do well to regard it as a tribute to the richness of the book of Job that it is amenable to so many varying readings that have engaged the sympathies and commitments of readers across many cultural divides. Clines compares with the Reformation of Luther and Calvin.

Job: A Workshop   David JA Clines a workshop looking at the Reduced Job.  In the spirit of the highly successful play, The Reduced Shakespeare, participants in this workshop were first asked to devise a Reduced Job.

Job's Fifth Friend: An Ethical Critique of the Book of Job  David JA Clines holds that there is one friend missing from the book of Job, and is attempting to fill that role. It is a friend who makes a critique, not of the character Job but of the book of Job, a fifth friend who calls into question not the ethical integrity of the man Job, as the first four did, but the ethical integrity of the book about Job.

On the Poetic Achievement of the Book of Job  David JA Clines explores how Job works as

Modern European languages use such verbs constantly, whereas in Biblical Hebrew they are virtually non-existent.
