Abstract: | The paper seeks to delve into an existential question at the confluence of Scripture studies, metaphysics and systematic theology. According to Samuel Terrien, Job, “the hero of the folk tale is a semi-nomadic sheikh, pious, virtuous, and prosperous, suddenly stricken with the loss of his children, his health and his wealth,” James Crenshaw affirms that together with Qoheleth, the book of Job marks "the apex of dissent in the Old Testament,'" The text of the Book of Job raises many questions, both to the inexperienced reader, as well as to the well-versed scholar. |
