AB As a scientist, I read Job 42.3 by noting that both science and theology are limited in their capacity to understand our world and the divine nature. However, wonder, a core concept within the verse, is a motivating characteristic of rational thinking that inspires and motivates humanity to discover more. Opposing conventional interpretations that Job 42.3 is a divine humiliation of humankind, this verse is read as challenging humanity to the praxis of discovery, not least through scientific endeavour.
