The Book of Job in Wonderland explores the theme of mediation in the biblical book of Job with a unique approach that examines the Hebrew language, the history of its interpretation, and a comparative literary analysis of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Both of these classics relentlessly subvert genre expectations in order to protest didactic religious instruction. In addition to biblical studies, this book makes contributions to lexicography, hermeneutics, medieval Jewish thought, early and modern Christianity, literary theory, and Victorian literature.

Deep friendship may express profound loyalty, but so too may virulent nationalism. What can and should we say about this Janus-faced virtue of the will? This volume explores at length the contours of an important and troubling virtue -- its cognates, contrasts, and perversions; its strengths and weaknesses; its awkward relations with universal morality; its oppositional form and limits; as well as the ways in which it functions in various associative connections, such as friendship and familial relations, organizations and professions, nations, countries, and religious tradition.
