My question - could the book of Job be a parable?
Is there anyone who would have a big problem with it being considered a parable, if so, why?
From some reading that I did yesterday, it seems that some scholars of the Talmud believed it was a parable.

I would have no problem at all and, in fact, I lean toward it being a parable, not because of the research, but because it contradicts the nature of God we see throughout the Bible. Sorry to be cynical, but I'm waiting for the crazies to show up and bomb you and the others for even suggesting this.
