	Job: A Comedy of Justice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Job: A Comedy of Justice is a novel by Robert A. Heinlein published in 1984.
		The story examines religion through the eyes of Alex, a Christian political activist who is corrupted by Margrethe, a Danish cruise ship hostess — and loves every minute of it.
		Whenever they manage to make some stake, an inconveniently timed change into a new alternate reality throws them off their stride (once, the money they earned is left behind in another reality; in another case, the paper money earned in a Mexico which is an Empire is worthless in another Mexico which is a republic).

	Job: A Comedy of Justice
		'Justice' is not a divine concept; it is a human illusion.
		The scapegoat sacrifice runs all through the Old Testament, then it reaches its height in the New Testament with the notion of the Martyred Redeemer.
		Whether it be a lamb having its throat cut ritually, or a Messiah nailed to a cross and 'dying for your sins.' Somebody should tell all of Yahweh's followers, Jews and Christians, that there is no such thing a free lunch.

	Job: a comedy of justice. - book reviews National Review - Find Articles
		His latest novel, Job: A Comedy of Justice, proves that Heinlein can still find gold in mines long considered overworked.
		Like the original Job, Heinlein's hero is sorely beset by problems, but this is no rewrite of the Biblical account.
		Rather, it is a novel of ideas, with the Job theme filtered through Heinlein's own view of the universe and told so well that the philosophy is part and parcel of the story.

	Job: A Comedy of Justice
		Job: A Comedy of Justice fulfills that promise on a grand scale, as it whisks us along on a fast-paced, wickedly irreverent tale.
		Heinlein wrote Job in the grand tradition of American satire, taking cues from James Branch Cabell (Jurgen: a Comedy of Justice) and Mark Twain ("Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven").
		Critics almost uniformly praise Job, and the book earned itself a sound condemnation from Falwell's Moral Majority, whose activities are so lovingly parodied by Hergensheimer's C.U.D. Along with the well wrought satire, in Job Heinlein delivers skillful studies of human nature and portrayals of various walks of life.

		It was out of print for a number of years, but is now available in "The Fantasies of Robert Heinlein." I mention "Jonathan Hoag" because as he often did in the last decades of his life, Heinlein returned to some of the themes of earlier books.
		Friday had too sexy and too sexually liberated of a protagonist and too off-handedly spurned religion, now in JOB the protagonist is a rather sedate in temperance and sexual experience and is a religious reverend to boot.
		At first, one might think that it may be due to sentimentality for the famous Heinlein, while in actuality this novel shows why he's such a well known, well read author and awarded the title of Grand Master.

	Cabell Prize, 2000, Bill Patterson.
		With the publication of Job: A Comedy of Justice in 1985, he forcibly effected an introduction between two of his oldest and most highly-valued literary friends, science fiction and James Branch Cabell who, for reasons of time and place and circumstance, knew each other not.
		As his comedy, simultaneously affirms the need for the ideal, and yet its ultimate failure in the face of man's material nature, so Cabell forged a uniquely dualistic form of irony, which says one thing, indicates another, and "means" them both.
		In Job, Alex Hergensheimer (surely an almost direct reference to Cabell's friend and colleague Joseph Hergesheimer) is forced into the same cosmic wager as was the Biblical Job and is wrenched from reality to reality, holding fast only to his Margrethe (a possible reference to Goethe's Faust).

		A delightful and irreverent romp into the turgid world of fundamentalist theology, Bible-thumping, unbridled sex, and cosmic comedy, all rolled into one, Heinlein's Job is among the most admired works of this popular author.
		Satan tries one last time to bribe him into working for him but fails, and it turns out that the whole ordeal was a repeat of the Job deal except not nearly as bloody.
		Heinlein then goes into a complicated cosmogony, according to which there is an infinite hierarchy of superior creatures, all organized in a galactic bureaucracy of arts that oversees their artistic endeavors.

	Robert Anson Heinlein, Scourge of the Spaceways - Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Among his best works(at least by consensus) are Stranger in a Strange Land (the restored version of this is my favorite work of fiction), Job: A Comedy of Justice, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Friday and Time Enough for Love.
		This is a work which sometimes has a profound effect on the reader's world view itself, and is the sole origin of the word "Grok", which you will find in many good dictionaries, as well as in local slang and tech slang in many places.
		After such comments, it should be noted that RAH himself was definitely not impressed with people who took his fiction too seriously.

		Heinlein's greatest satiric novel about organized religion (he has written several) is Job: A Comedy of Justice.
		Nonetheless, I recommend that fans of Heinlein's more well-known works (Stranger in a Strange Land, Job, etc.), as well as anyone who might be offended by racism against Asians, should avoid this novel.
