Book Description
In Job the Unfinalizable, Seong Whan Timothy Hyun reads Job 1-11 through the lens of Bakhtin’s dialogism and chronotope to hear each different voice as a unique and equally weighted voice. The distinctive voices in the prologue and dialogue, Hyun argues, depict Job as the unfinalizable by working together rather than quarrelling each other. As pieces of a puzzle come together to make the whole picture, all voices in Job 1-11 though each with its own unique ideology come together to complete the picture of Job. This picture of Job offers readers a different way to read the book of Job: to find better questions rather than answers.

Hiobs Reden
Author: Anja Marschall
Publisher: Evangelische Verlagsanstalt
ISBN: 337407698X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Die internationalen Beiträge des Sammelbands untersuchen das spannungsvolle Wechselspiel zwischen Selbstreflexion, Klage und Streit innerhalb der Worte Hiobs. Der erste Teil beleuchtet sowohl selbstreflexive Prozesse als auch anthropologische Grundbestimmungen im Buch Hiob. Im zweiten Abschnitt analysieren die Autorinnen und Autoren Hiobs Gottesbild sowie die von ihm adaptierte Gebetssprache. Dabei kommen neben intertextuellen Bezügen zu den Psalmen auch humorvolle Anspielungen und traumatologische Implikationen der Worte Hiobs in den Fokus. Der letzte Teil ist der sozialen Ausrichtung der Worte Hiobs gewidmet, die nicht nur selbstbezogen reflektieren und zu Gott klagen, sondern auch soziale Zusammenhänge aufdecken und Hiobs Mitmenschen in die Verantwortung nehmen. Mit Beiträgen von Nikita Artemov, Brennan Breed, Katharine Dell, Juliane Eckstein, Stefan Fischer, Tod Linafelt, Will Kynes, Anja Marschall, Brittany Melton, Hanneke van Loon, Jürgen van Oorschot und Patricia Vesely. [Job's Speeches. Between Self-Reflection, Lament, and Dispute] The contributions in this anthology explore the intricate interplay between self-reflection, lament, and dispute within Job's speeches. The first section sheds light on both self-reflective processes and fundamental anthropological determinations present in the Book of Job. In the second section, the authors analyse Job's portrayal of God and his use of prayer language. Alongside intertextual references to the Psalms, humorous allusions and traumatological implications of Job's words also come into focus. The final section is dedicated to the social relevance of Job's speeches, which not only reflect on himself and lament to God, but also reveal social connections and hold Job's peers accountable.

Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
"Brian R. Doak observes that the book of Job uses metaphors drawn from the natural world, especially of plants and animals, as raw material for thinking about human suffering. Doak argues that Job should be viewed as an anthropological "ground zero" for the traumatic definition of the post-exilic human self in ancient Israel. Consider Leviathan explores the test at the intersection of anthropology, theology, and ecology, opening up new possiblitiis for charting the view of nature in the Hebrew Bible." --From Publisher.

An Introduction to Israel's Wisdom Traditions
Author: John L. McLaughlin
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467450561
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
It can be a challenge to understand the Hebrew Bible’s wisdom literature and how it relates to biblical history and theology, but John L. McLaughlin makes this complicated genre straightforward and accessible. This introductory-level textbook begins by explaining the meaning of wisdom to the Israelites and surrounding cultures before moving into the conventions of the genre and its poetic forms. The heart of the book examines Proverbs, Job, Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes), and the deuterocanonical Ben Sira and Wisdom of Solomon. McLaughlin also explores the influence of wisdom throughout the Old Testament and in the New Testament. Designed especially for beginning students—and based on twenty-five years of teaching Israel’s wisdom literature to university students—McLaughlin’s Introduction to Israel’s Wisdom Traditions provides an informed, panoramic view of wisdom literature’s place in the biblical canon.

The Prophet and the Sage
Author: Brian M. Koning
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666765813
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Job and Habakkuk represent the Bible’s most focused interlocutors on the concepts of justice and theodicy. Both works center upon men chosen by God who see and suffer evil (Job 1:8, cf. Hab 1:1). Both books record the cries of these men as they wrestled to make sense of the world in which they lived (Job 3, cf. Hab 1:2–4). While they have a passing similarity, what if there is something more fundamental to their connection? What if these books are not merely two unconnected discourses on suffering, but linked in a significant way? By examining the texts themselves, this study explores the possibility that a textual relationship exists between portions of Habakkuk and Job and how the underlying transformation of Job’s theodicy shapes Habakkuk’s dialogue with God.

The Book of Job

Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 069120246X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The life and times of this iconic and enduring biblical book The book of Job raises stark questions about the meaning of innocent suffering and the relationship of the human to the divine, yet it is also one of the Bible's most obscure and paradoxical books. Mark Larrimore provides a panoramic history of this remarkable book, traversing centuries and traditions to examine how Job's trials and his challenge to God have been used and understood in diverse contexts, from commentary and liturgy to philosophy and art. Larrimore traces Job's reception by figures such as Gregory the Great, William Blake, and Elie Wiesel, and reveals how Job has come to be viewed as the Bible's answer to the problem of evil and the perennial question of why a God who supposedly loves justice permits bad things to happen to good people.
