THE CASE OF SATAN versus JOB

on Third Programme

Moralist * Scientist
A Celestial Interlude by T. S. GREGORY
Was Job a victim of the naturalistic fallacy, vainly seeking reasons where none exist?
Remembering that all philosophers, and all their fallacies, are contemporary in the sight of God, the author of this philosophical conversation allows himself to range freely and satirically among them. His own view is that ' the Book of Job is one of the earliest apologies for Science, and states the conditions in which Science comes to birth.'
