Orthodox Commentaries on Righteous Job?

ttcmacro · Jul 29, 2019

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any Orthodox commentaries (either historic or contemporary) out there on the Book of Job? I recently obtained an icon of Righteous Job and became interested in Orthodox perspectives of this story.

I haven’t found this online for free, but there is a commentary on Job from St John Chrysostom

There is a book by Fr Patrick (Henry Reardon): The Trial of Job. I have never read it or know how many patristics are referenced. Probably a decent book.

St John would probably be the best place to start.

I have read it and it is good. I like Fr Patrick in general, so perhaps I'm biased

Thanks everyone. I think I will probably pick up both books, both are pretty affordable.
