UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Book of Job in Early UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Book of Job in Early Modern England A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Kimberly Susan Hedlin 2018 © Copyright by Kimberly Susan Hedlin 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Book of Job in Early Modern England by Kimberly Susan Hedlin Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles 2018 Professor Debora K. Shuger, Chair “The Book of Job in Early Modern England” examines how sixteenth- and seventeenth- century writers used Job to broach some of the most contentious issues of their era. The project probes the intersection of post-Reformation biblical exegesis and other literary forms, ranging from treatises on heliocentricism to religious lyric. The dissertation begins at the publication of the first English Protestant primer, which was innovative in its suggestion to read Job’s complaints as an expression of one’s own suffering. English Protestantism’s attention to Job’s complaints (rather than just his patience, as in patristic and medieval readings) signals a turn from using the Book of Job as hagiography to what early modern Protestants called “history” and what we might call psychological realism. The volatile religio-political climate of post-Reformation Europe was a particularly fascinating time in Job’s reception history. Commentators’ newfound interest in primary Hebrew sources, the emergence of textual criticism, and debates about how the Bible expressed its truth ii put the Book of Job’s “slipperiness” (to use Jerome’s term) at the center of controversy. Chapter 1 describes the groundbreaking shift toward a more “human” Job in Lutheran commentary, a shift that is reflected in early modern theologians’ obsession with Job’s historicity. Chapter 2 examines John Calvin’s defense of Job’s Edomite lineage, which became a matter of delineating the insiders and outsiders of God’s church. Chapter 3 traces how four theologians (ending with John Milton) used Job to “justify the ways of God,” either by insisting on God’s absolute power or suggesting how God shares his power with man. Chapter 4 recovers Job’s role in the Copernican Revolution by examining how the Augustinian monk Diego de Zuñiga used Job to consider man’s peripheral place in the cosmos. Finally, Chapter 5 considers how the Welsh poet Henry Vaughan finds in Job’s confusion and complaints an opportunity to encounter the sublime. “The Book of Job in Early Modern England” captures the diversity of the Bible’s uses in early modern literature and sheds new light on a turbulent period of ecclesiastical history. iii The dissertation of Kimberly Susan Hedlin is approved.

Debora Shuger was the ideal chair, who both nurtured and challenged me. She encouraged my archival work; improved my Latin; deepened my engagement with ecclesiastical history; and seemed to bring her dogs to the office just when I needed a boost. Jonathan Post made me a much better reader of poetry; reminded me that readability matters; pushed my work into conversation with other scholars; and instilled in me a profound appreciation for Renaissance art and music. Jason Mahn helped me see old drafts with fresh eyes; broadened my theological vocabulary; added contemporary relevance to a historical project; and motivated me to pursue a graduate degree in the first place. In every way, I am grateful for their support. This dissertation was made possible by a UCLA Graduate Research Mentorship; UCLA English Department Dissertation Year Fellowship; UCLA Graduate Division Dissertation Year Fellowship; and Grace M. Hunt Archival Research Travel Award. I am thankful for the help I received at the British Library; Bodleian Library; Cambridge University Library; UCLA Special Collections; Folger Shakespeare Library; Huntington Library; University of Illinois Special Collections; Newberry Library; and Sidney Sussex, Cambridge Archives. I am humbled as I consider all of the supportive people in my life. Here, I will only mention my family. Dave Hedlin taught me to close read and ask questions as part of faith. Carol Hedlin taught me to write and reflect on my writing. Chris Hedlin, who is simultaneously finishing her dissertation on nineteenth-century American literature, has been an inspiring colleague, as well as a great twin sister. Abby Wolfgram (with the help of Josh and Nora) has always been a refreshing voice of reason, in addition to an accomplished writer of haikus. This quick acknowledgement cannot capture my gratitude for your unconditional love. vii VITA | KIMBERLY SUSAN HEDLIN Education 2014 University of California, Los Angeles Masters of Arts, English 2011 Augustana College, Rock Island, IL Bachelor of Arts with Honors, English Publication 2018 “Christian Revenge in Chapman’s The Revenge of Bussy D’Ambois,” Renaissance Drama 46.1: 87-111.

Far from the patient Christian saint that dominates medieval commentary, Job in the early modern period is a racialized, masculine mortal; a complainer with free will; a mere atom in a heliocentric cosmos; and a discoverer of the sublime. He is a typological figure of Christ, the patron saint of syphilis and music, and an epic poet. His story was conjectured to be the most ancient in the world and his poetry the most difficult in the Bible. In the Book of Job, Job starts off as a prosperous and pious man. One day when Satan is roaming around heaven, God advertises Job’s exceptional piety. Satan taunts that Job is only pious because his every desire is fulfilled, so Satan urges God to test Job’s uprightness by taking away his livelihood. God agrees to the bet and hands Job over to Satan, who proceeds to kill Job’s livestock and children, burn his property, subject him to robbers, and afflict him with ulcers from head to foot. All of this happens in the first two chapters of Job. In these chapters, which are written in prose, Job remains patient, insisting, “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” 1 But, then, at the start of chapter three, Job “opens his mouth” against God. In the next thirty-some chapters of poetry, Job begs God to kill him or give him justice. His bitter complaints are mixed with unsought chastisement from his “friends” who warn that, surely, Job must have done something to offend God, and, really, innocent people are never made to suffer. Finally, in chapter thirty-eight, God appears in a whirlwind and 1 “The Book of Job” in King James I, The Holy Bible Conteyning the Old Testament and the New (London: Robert Barker, 1611), Job 1:21. Henceforth cited, “King James Version.” Available online at https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/k/kjv/kjv-idx?type=DIV1&byte=2079883. 1 reminds all of the humans of their smallness relative to the vastness of creation. God asks, “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?”2 and Job repents in “dust and ashes.”3 In the final chapter, which returns to prose, God tells Job that he has “spoken rightly,” chastises Job’s friends, and returns everything that Job lost. For many contemporary readers, this summary raises more questions than it answers. Why was God bragging to Satan? Why would God cause an innocent person to suffer? What prompts Job’s change of heart between the prose frame and the poetry? What is the relationship between God’s speech from the whirlwind and the many questions that Job and his friends have been asking? What does God mean when he says that Job has “spoken rightly”? If Job “rightly” refutes the notion of cosmic justice, why does God reward him for his good behavior at the

  • The Expositor
    THE EXPOSITOR. BALAAM: AN EXPOSITION AND STUDY. III. The Conclusion. WE have now studied all the Scriptures which relate to Balaam, and if our study has added but few new features to his character, it has served, I hope, to bring out his features more clearly, to cast higher lights and deeper shadows upon them, and to define and enlarge our conceptions both of the good and of the evil qualities of the man. The problem of his character-how a good man could be so. bad and a great man so base-has not yet been solved ; we are as far per­ haps from its solution as ever : but something-much­ has been gained if only we have the terms of that problem more distinctly and fully before our minds. To reach the solution of it, in so far as we can reach it, we must fall back on the second method of inquiry which, at the outset, I proposed to employ. We must apply the comparative method to the history and character of Balaam ; we must place him beside other prophets as faulty and sinful as himself, and in whom the elements were as strangely mixed as they were in him : we must endeavour to classify him, and to read the problem of his life in the light of that of men of his own order and type. Yet that is by no means easy to do without putting him to a grave disadvantage. For the only prophets with whom We can compare him are the Hebrew prophets ; and ·Balaam JULY, 1883.

The series will be less elementary than the Cambridge Bible for Schools, less critical than the International Critical Com­ mentary, less didactic than the Expositor's Bible ; and it is hoped that it may be of use both to theological students and to the clergy, as well as to the growing number of educated laymen and laywomen who wish to read the Bible intelligently and reverently.

  • Theodicy: an Overview
    1 Theodicy: An Overview Introduction All of us struggle at one time or another in life with why evil happens to someone, either ourselves, our family, our friends, our nation, or perhaps some particularly disturbing instance in the news—a child raped, a school shooting, genocide in another country, a terrorist bombing. The following material is meant to give an overview of the discussion of this issue as it takes place in several circles, especially that of the Christian church. I. The Problem of Evil Defined Three terms, "the problem of evil," "theodicy," and "defense" are important to our discussion. The first two are often used as synonyms, but strictly speaking the problem of evil is the larger issue of which theodicy is a subset because one can have a secular problem of evil. Evil is understood as a problem when we seek to explain why it exists (Unde malum?) and what its relationship is to the world as a whole. Indeed, something might be considered evil when it calls into question our basic trust in the order and structure of our world. Peter Berger in particular has argued that explanations of evil are necessary for social structures to stay themselves against chaotic forces. It follows, then, that such an explanation has an impact on the whole person. As David Blumenthal observes, a good theodicy is one that has three characteristics: 1. "[I]t should leave one with one’s sense of reality intact." (It tells the truth about reality.) 2. "[I]t should leave one empowered within the intellectual-moral system in which one lives." (Namely, it should not deny God’s basic power or goodness.) 3.

    ANNUAL FALL McGINLEY LECTURE Faith and Conflict in the Holy Land: Peacemaking Among Jews, Christians, and Muslims The Reverend Patrick J. Ryan, S.J. Laurence J. McGinley Professor of Religion and Society RESPONDENTS Abraham Unger, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Government and Politics Wagner College Ebru Turan, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of History Fordham University Tuesday, November 12, 2019 | Lincoln Center Campus Wednesday, November 13, 2019 | Rose Hill Campus 3 Faith and Conflict in the Holy Land: Peacemaking Among Jews, Christians, and Muslims The Reverend Patrick J. Ryan, S.J. Laurence J. McGinley Professor of Religion and Society Let me begin on holy ground, Ireland. In 1931 William Butler Yeats concluded his short poem, “Remorse for Intemperate Speech,” with a stanza that speaks to me as the person I am, for better or for worse: Out of Ireland have we come. Great hatred, little room, Maimed us at the start. I carry from my mother’s womb A fanatic heart. Ireland is, indeed, a small place, and it has seen great fanaticism and hatred, although the temperature of Ireland as a whole has subsided dramatically since the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, despite Boris Johnson. The whole island of Ireland today occupies 32,599 square miles. British-administered Northern Ireland includes 5,340 of those square miles. Combined Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland approximate the size of Indiana. The total population of the island of Ireland is 6.7 million people, about a half a million more than the population of Indiana. There is another place of “great hatred, little room” that I wish to discuss this evening: the Holy Land, made up today of the State of Israel and the Palestinian autonomous regions of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
