In this, the fourth part in this Unorthodoxy series on the book of Job, the focus is on the symbolic significance of the sea-beast/monster/chaos-dragon Leviathan, which gets a few mentions in the book of Job. In the process, we'll be covering how chaos and order always have a part to play in the drama of creation and creativity; it turns out that our sense of life's purpose is intricately bound up in the dialectical tension that arises in the collaboration of chaos and order. The role of language and dialogical companionship in helping us to navigate this tension also gets a bit of airtime here.
