Job 1:1-5 ESV

1: Job was most likely a contemporary of the patriarchs like Abraham
+ His wealth was measured in flocks and herds
+ He offered sacrifices w/o the aid of a priest
+ He interacted with historical people like the Sabeans and Chaledeans.
2: Job is not fiction.
+ James 5:11 mentions him as someone to imitate as if was a historical person
+ In Ezekiel 14:14, Job is mentioned right along side such men as Noah and Daniel. Why would you mention a fictitious man next to two well known historical figures in the Bible.
