Abstract
In allowing Satan to take all that Job possesses, but not to physically harm him, God takes from Job everything he holds dear, his family, his wealth, his integrity, his dignity, leaving him wounded to deliberate his faith. This paper explains, however, that Job does not deliberate his faith, only God's intention. Throughout his trials and suffering, Job denies his right to blame God. This is the first temptation. Job passed this test by never blaming God. He verbally admits that God gave him all things, so it's God's right to take these things away.
From the Paper
"In Job's closing monologue he unwaveringly maintains his righteousness, setting himself apart from the enemies of God and their punishment. The dialogue displays the common understanding that the friends maintain: God prospers the righteous and punishes the wicked. Job, apparently showing his superior faith, argues that suffering is hidden in the sovereignty of God; however he still yearns for an explanation."

Abstract
This paper examines how suffering is part of human existence on earth and how Christians are no exception to the rule. It looks at how when believers suffer, they appear to deny God?s love and find it difficult to hold on to faith in the face of physical, emotional or spiritual turmoil. In order to understand this phenomenon in the believer?s world it looks at how Gustavo Gutierrez examines suffering from the viewpoint of Job in his book "On Job: God-Talk and the Suffering of the Innocent". It examines how Gutierrez describes in detail the stages that Job goes through in his suffering and how Job is the ultimate example of innocent suffering. Despite being completely righteous and faithful, Job suffered because God had confidence in him.
From the Paper
"When Job receives no help from an apparently silent God, or from his non-suffering friends, he turns to his fellow sufferers, and finds new meaning in his circumstances. The meaning that Job finds is in suffering with others. Although he has previously been kind to the poor and the marginalized, he has not known their circumstances first-hand. His experience however puts him on a new level of understanding with those who suffer alongside him. This realization is born from Job?s innocence. When he finds no meaning in temporal retribution, his thoughts turn to the wicked and the reasons for their prosperity. Seeing this as proof that temporal retribution is not applicable to his case, Job finds a better reason for his suffering."

Job and Ecclesiastes, 2001.
A discussion of the portrayal of God in two biblical books - Job and Ecclesiastes.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The first mention of God in Ecclesiastes is in 1:13 and sets up the idea that God has given humans something that is "an unhappy business". Qoheleth (the author) knows in his heart that God is ultimately in control of everything but the world as it is cannot be understood by anyone, including the wise. Qoheleth doesn't solve any of the problems regarding what he saw and what this means in regard to the character of God. Yet this very ability to see and make some certain judgements and yet not be able to escape concluding that all is vanity, reflects his view of God, who is at the same time reliable and yet seemingly unpredictable. In summary four propositions are present in Job: 1. God is the cause of Job's suffering. 2. A just God does not cause the innocent like Job to suffer like Job. 3. God is a just God. 4. Job is not guilty of anything that would cause God to punish him in the way God is punishing him. Neither the book of Ecclesiastes or Job gives the answers that the main characters seek.
From the Paper
"From my own personal experience, out of all the books of the Christian Bible, the books of Ecclesiastes and Job have been among the most difficult for christians to come to grips with. This is due largely to the way they present God, and as a reflection of God; God given reality. This makes it all the more vital that the Church and individual believers do understand these books and the view of life and God found in them. These books assist in giving the reader of the Bible a balanced view of God and a balanced view of the way the people of the Old Testament saw God across the centuries. Both serve as a critique of a strict retribution principle and a correction to the other Wisdom Literature."

The Book of Job, 1999.
A critical analysis on the Book of Job from the Old Testament, focusing mainly on the debates between Job and God.

Abstract
This paper largely focuses on the debates between Job and God concerning Job's righteousness and the toils he is forced to endure. The essay takes a look at the validity of Job's complaints and the structure of his argument. The critical analysis commentary is supported by many scriptural quotes from the Book of Job.
From the Paper
"Job loses his debate with God, because he attempts to compare his mortal credentials to those of the omnipotent. Job believes that he is justified in questioning the Lord, because he has lived a righteous life. Job does not understand the source of his punishment, and therefore he feels justified in challenging the Lord. Job says, ?I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was a robe and a diadem?(Job 29:27-28), and now ?Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposes thyself against me? (Job 30:33). Job feels that he should be compensated for his righteousness, and cannot understand why the Lord is punishing him. This parallels the common belief that if one is obedient, he should be rewarded. Job disregards the hierarchy of nature, and places himself at the top of the pyramid with the deity. Job expects God to think like a mortal, and his pride, audacity, and ignorance ultimately lead to the renunciation of his challenge."

Job 38:18, 2007.
Analyzes Job 38:18 from the Old Testament to define God's ideal relationship with men.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the 'Book of Job' 38:18, God allows Satan to torture and condemn Job, the most righteous, God-fearing, man. The author points out that, ultimately, God reveals himself and answers Job's questions through rhetorical questions in which he elucidates his absolute supremacy over mankind by evoking fear and limitless divine knowledge. The paper relates that God explains to Job that he works in unpredictable ways that men can not comprehend; however, in the end, the Lord reinstates the predictable action of blessing Job with materialistic possessions for his goodness.
From the Paper
"Previously, God reminds men that he is wise and all knowing whereas men are not, now the Lord continues the affirmation of his supremacy by drawing greater juxtapositions between divine knowledge versus human knowledge. Divine knowledge solely belongs to the Lord for he is the only one who witnessed and created the birth of the world. Men's spectrum of knowledge is minuscule and insignificant to that of God's, for men are unable to answer questions that are simple to God."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the portion of Job in which Lord God uses rhetorical questions to elucidate the ideal relationship between men and God, one that is unquestioning for God's actions are always justified. The author points out that God deems Job as the ideal suppliant for he is God-fearing and bows to the Lord's every request. The paper concludes that the "Book of Job" serves to highlight that the actions of God are often times beyond human understanding because the Lord is most supreme in knowledge. The complete text of this portion is included in the paper.
From the Paper
"Before the men can respond, or perhaps, before they are allowed to respond, God precedes his speech with the following question, "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundations? Tell me, if you know and understand." (4). The Lord further belittles the men because they obviously can not answer his question, for they did not witness earth's creation. Thus by not answering, the men have conceded to God that they do neither know nor understand everything. Moreover, the Lord accentuates his perspective by incorporating sarcasm."

Jobs are the building blocks which build organizations. The interrelationships among jobs forms the complex structures of the largest organizations and even small companies depend on each individual performing his or her job appropriately in order to accomplish the company's goals and objectives.
From the Paper
"Jobs are the building blocks which build organizations. The interrelationships among jobs forms the complex structures of the largest organizations and even small companies depend on each individual performing his or her job appropriately in order to accomplish the company's goals and objectives. Despite the importance which jobs hold to the success of an organization, surprisingly little consideration goes into analyzing and evaluating jobs within many organizations. This research examines methods for performing job analysis, considers job specifications and requirements, identifies key approaches to job design, and looks at job descriptions from both traditional and modern perspectives."

Abstract
Managing human resources is a challenge in today's dynamic business environment. New approaches to traditional tasks have been implemented to help human resource professionals. This paper gives the tools to aid businesses in approaching job analysis and design, and to work to develop job descriptions which are integrated with the company's overall goals and objectives in order to increase productivity.
From the Paper
"There are typically three different methods used in job analysis: task, behavioral and ability (Milkovich & Newman, 1996, p. 78). Task data focuses on the fundamental units of work with an emphasis on the purpose of each task. Task data must be developed for each job individually since the purpose behind each task varies from job to job. Thus a programmer might "consult with engineers to determine program specifications" in a task environment, but the engineer might "consult with programmers to develop specifications". In both cases, both the purpose and the task are specific to the job and cannot be substituted."

Jung on Job, 2002.
Discusses psychologist/philosopher, Jung's answer to Job (from the Book of Job) as an indication of his views of suffering.

Abstract
Jung comments in introducing the Book of Job that it is plain how the people of the Old Testament regarded their God. What concerned him more was the idea carried by his contemporary Christians on this subject. (1976, 527) Jung seems to be saying that Western humanity continues to be haunted by myths of a God that become angry, vindictively attack sinners and show plain preference for the virtuous. (1976, 529) The testing of Job's faith is a very serious business, as described by Jung with occasional references to scripture.

Fate in "Job" and "Oedipus Rex", 2005.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Classical literature is filled with stories of capricious deities playing with human lives as if they were only pawns and the Greek tradition of tragedy is based upon celebrating this very aspect of the nature of the pantheon of Greek gods. This paper examines how Sophocles finds a perfect example of this celebration of fate, in the tragedy "Oedipus Rex". In comparison, it looks at how the story of Job uses the dramatic tension of a "wager" between God and Satan on the sincerity of Job's devotion to God. It shows that where Oedipus' life is bound up by fated situations and their fated outcomes, Job's story is one of choice in the midst of supernaturally imposed difficulties. While both strive to teach resignation to the will of God, they each espouse quite different attitudes in resignation.
From the Paper
"In Oedipus Rex, Sophocles presents a view of life fixed by fate. This fate, predetermined by the gods, is the sole factor in deciding human destiny. Tiresias expresses his understanding of the unchangeable fate of Oedipus, laid out by the gods, as he argues with the King about revealing the truth of all the Theban troubles. When Oedipus, frustrated by the lack of cooperation, insults Tiresias, he responds "I pity you, flinging at me the very insults / each man here will fling at you so soon."(p 628) An interesting and important aspect of this Greek notion of fate is the utter helplessness of the human players. No matter the choice made by the people involved in this tragedy, the gods have determined it and it is going to come to pass."

Abstract
This paper examines job satisfaction in nursing and the health care field. Once the definition of job satisfaction is determined, the paper examines how to improve one's personal satisfaction in the nursing field by examining why someone chooses the nursing profession and why they choose to stay. Productivity is then examined to determine how it affects job satisfaction.
From the Paper
"The future health care work environment will pose some significant challenges for employers and employees" (p.17). Job satisfaction, motivation, productivity, and retention are important in any profession. Nurses believe it is uncommon for the profession to experience these problems because of the current nursing shortage in the United Sates. Many nurses feel blessed to have chosen a profession that gives them personal and professional satisfaction everyday, and not in the monetary sense. Motivation and productivity is an economic aspect in the nursing profession."

The "Book of Job", 2002.
A review of the "Book of Job" with an emphasis on the theme of divine justice.

Abstract
This paper looks at the book of Job in the Bible. In the end, the purpose of the book of Job appears to be to question the concept of divine justice. While the prologue indicates that Job is being tested and thus focuses on his suffering and reaction, the dialogue shows that in reality it is God who is on trial, and it zeroes in on his nature and his relationship to the world. In other words, by testing man rather than allowing man to test him, God is the one who is put under scrutiny.
