A:The Book of Job was compiled after the time of the Babylonian Exile, but contains some much older material, along with material that reflects Exilic and post-Exilic culture. It talks of conversations in heaven between God and his loyal assistant Satan, but how could any author have known of this?


The Book of Job could reasonably be classified as a parable, written to instruct the Jews on how to be absolutely obedient and faithful to God (or to his priests, who represented God).

Is Job mentioned in Genesis the same as the one in the book of Job?

The Book of Job is undoubtedly a parable: who could really know what God said to Satan in heaven, or what angry duscussions he had with Job, when his attempts to test Job failed? As there is no possibiliity the story is genuinely historical, there is no possibility Job was a real person. The Job briefly mentioned in Genesis 46:13 as a descendant of Jacob might also have been fictional, since we have no historical evidence for his existence. Whatever the case, the Bible makes no attempt to link the two men. We should see them as two different people.
