The book of Job is one of the most brilliant and perplexing literary works to grace the stage of the human drama; and this is the second episode in a series on Unorthodoxy that focuses on this amazing book. The aim in this series is to look for unfamiliar nuggets of brilliance in what is, for many, an overly familiar text. In this episode, we take a look at the absurd but surprisingly helpful question of what JS Bach can teach us about reading the book of Job, as well as what the idea of polyphony might have to say about a particular kind of consciousness or conscious awareness. Although this series is rooted in solid scholarship, scholarly detail has needed to be sacrificed for the sake of what is hopefully a more pleasant listening experience.
