Vernon commented: "Can such passages as Job 1:6-12 =
and 2:1-7 be 'interpreted' to mean something different from their =
account of actual meetings, actual discussions and actual consequences?
=
And if, in your view they must be accepted as real events, what might we
=
usefully glean from them?"

The most reasonable interpretation of Job is that it is a morality play.
To consider it as sober factual history is ludicrous. Sort of like
believing ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
