This study constitutes the first comprehensive analysis of the connections between the Book of Job and Jewish apocalypticism. It examines the motifs of creation's corruption through curses and its restoration through the revelation of cosmological knowledge, as depicted in one of the earliest Jewish apocalyptic texts, the Book of the Watchers, and their thematic parallels in the Book of Job. The study demonstrates that both the Book of Job and the Book of the Watchers exhibit striking similarities in their portrayals of the corruption and restoration of God's creation.
Andrei A. Orlov is Professor of Judaism and Christianity in Antiquity at Marquette University. A leading authority on Jewish and Christian apocalypticism and mysticism, he has authored more than twenty monographs and edited volumes.
