SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This study will demonstrate that the speech of Elihu in the Book of Job functions as a bridge between the theology of the three friends and the theology of Yahweh by exegetically examining Elihu's theology of creation and how it compares with that of the other characters. The work will proceed with detailed exegesis of texts relating to creation in the speeches of Elihu, the three friends, and YHWH. The study will then make biblical theological conclusions regarding the doctrines of creation represented in the various speeches. The methodology is exegetical and biblical theological and the work proceeds through the lens of creation theology. Through this study, the Elihu pericope shows itself as a bridge between the speeches of the three friends and those of YHWH.
