Book Synopsis
A philosophical exploration of the question of whether the world we inhabit offers us hospitality or indifference.

Trade Review
"We Find Ourselves Put to the Test will interest students, scholars, and general readers alike. Crooks approaches the material with freshness and aplomb, and the result is an engaging and thoughtful interpretation of an important canonical text." Ron Srigley, Laurentian University
"Crooks argues "that Job is best read as a careful description of how [one finds oneself] put to the test" to meet "reality point blank" and in silence. That experience is what leads Job to restoration. Crooks does not try to solve critical and exegetical issues; he attempts to find usefulness and meaning in what is a most opaque book. Recommended."
