I would think that respecting all religions is a virtue, but I can't agree that the story of Job is not about any particular affiliation. It was written within Judaism, maintained in Judaism, speaks of a monotheistic God, believes in the personality and reality of evil (not an illusion) believes in reward and punishment within a metaphysical and physical field of reality. But the wisdom of Job is something for all of humanity to share.

I don't know where you can get downloads. I bought a Seatrain anthology a few years ago. As I remember, it was shipped from England.

[Busada]

It probably could go for the first Christian Rock, but I think it is more "Jewish Rock."

@Busada I had this album also around 1971,most of the band are Jewish & it tells in some of the songs like "13 questions",Job,"Waiting for Elijah" he explains some of the Passover (Pesach) themes.

[Busada]

@RasMajnouni Yes, it was "Waiting for Elijah" that convinced me of the Jewish background of the band. It is interesting to see Jewish interpretations of Job as Israel's wife having an argument with God, with Christian interpretations where Job is a type of Christ, who righteous, suffered at God's hand, only to receive greater blessings. This prompted me to read much of Job again . . . quite the work of literature!

[Busada]

Thanks for your comments. Likewise, I would never have known of "Job," if it were not for Seatrain - - - a long time ago.

I had the distinct pleasure of seeing them perform this live many years ago in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, PA. I was a teenager; I brought a carload of friends in my 57 Ford ranchwagon all tripped out with slicks, headers, and a racing engine. My God, those were indeed the days. Now I am fifty eight and longing for those moments again. They also performed Orange Blossum Special. Thank you for the memory! The Flea.

A remarkable cut, maybe the best cut (except for "Orange Blossom Special") from this remarkable LP.

Consider the time of it: Nixon is still in office, Viet Nam is still going on, the mega-mergers of the record companies are just beginning, and this tune, about this subject, is being listened to by a generation of hippies as they toke up.

"I still have faith in you."

This isn't about religous affiliation. This is about the trials and tribulations that each and every one of us face on a daily basis. Regardless of our religious beliefs..Except Job faced a full truckload that all of us can only seek to comprehend and learn from.... Ahmen. Yours truly a man who respects ALL religions..

[mjpd345]

Always wondered as a young man if I would ever be tested like Job was. Maybe on a smaller scale but hey I came out OK..
