+At best guess, there are no two more hotly contested, more thoroughly discussed books in the Christian bible than those of Job and Revelation.[^1revelation]
+
+Perhaps it is the dire nature by which both approach the world. Job takes a look at the world, heaves a weary sigh, and says, "I suppose this is it. This is the lot we have been given in life." While Revelation looks at the world and growls deep in its through, a sound coming from the belly, and says, "This must not be it. This cannot be the ways in which the world works."[^1works]
+
+Or perhaps it is the way in which they view death. While Job looks on death almost fondly, Revelation reiterates the Christian sentiment that death has been defeated. It is no more, and while there is everlasting life beyond it, it is worth considering, worth focusing on.

+[^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. 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.

+[^1works]: A simplification, of course, but perhaps a good starting point.
