@ -86,7 +86,7 @@ Alter argues that the names that Job gives his new daughters points to a change.
One worries, however, that this is not what happened. Folktales are folktales and there is only so much we can tease out of the text itself. That Job names his daughters and lives another 140 years before dying of old age provides little enough context as to his state of mind. We, of course, have other resources. The Anglicans have their three-legged stool --- scripture, tradition, reason --- and the Methodists their Wesleyan quadrilateral --- which adds 'experience' --- and so we have at our disposal tradition, reason, and experience beyond just the scripture itself.

[^1revelation]: I don't care about the book itself, I should add. There is much that falls out of its existence that I care very much about, of course. I care about the way it is used, and while I care about the way that Job is used, I also care about the text, which is not something I can say about Revelation.
