Mediation is a rather pervasive theme in the book of Job, and I argue that this theme of mediation continually draws out the honesty between humans and God. The book opens with a strict separation between the heavenly realm and the human realm. Job, befuddled by his lack of revelation, becomes curiouser and curiouser in his search for divine revelation, even hoping to challenge God directly. Whereas one may think of a mediator as a go-between, Job wants a mediator to help him speak his honest, unflattering, thoughts directly to God. This sounds ridiculous to his three friends, who cannot fathom breaking the separation between realms. Elihu is hesitant for Job to be so combative with God, but he opens the door for Job to have direct revelation. God finally responds, with no mediator present, and the separation between the divine and human realms is torn down in the book's closing. First, I offer a survey of mediation and the way it develops throughout the episodic narrative until Job faces God without mediation. The second chapter examines Job's final speech while looking back on his quest to break through the separation to the heavenly realm. Job acknowledges that he has finally received honest "un-mediation" from God. In the third chapter, I look at the way Job holds his three amigos to legal standards of mediation, accusing them of showing bias. Their bias leads them to flattery and bearing false witness, and in the end, the honest Job must mediate on their behalf. In the final chapter, I explore Elihu's offer of mediation that promises divine revelation without so much debate. I take this romp through the episodic, dialogue-heavy narrative of Job with the help of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, a book about a curious girl befuddled by a topsy-turvy situation, who engages zany characters in a series of debates.
