Hiob - Im Raderwerk Des Bosen (German, Paperback, 2nd ed.)

English summary: In world literature, Job, the righteous man suffering many afflictions, has become a symbol of the mystery of evil. Authors, theologians and philosophers were inspired again and again by this figure to search for answers, and these are as numerous as the readers of the Book of Job. But every one of them pales against what Job had to suffer, against his lament, his accusation and his silence. There is no answer to the problem of theodicy. With great empathy, intelligently and in well-chosen words, Ruediger Lux tells us why this is so. Because Job is more than just a problem He is a man suffering innocently, paradigmatic for the sufferings of his people of Israel in the course of history and the sufferings of all humankind. Through him faith and thought touch upon their limit, which is God. German description: Hiob, der leidende Gerechte, wurde in der Weltliteratur zum Symbol fuer das Ratsel des Bosen. Literaten, Theologen und Philosophen haben sich von dieser Gestalt immer wieder anregen lassen und nach Antworten gesucht. Diese sind so zahlreich wie die Leser des Buches. Jedoch bleibt jede hinter dem, was Hiob erdulden musste, hinter seiner Klage, seiner Anklage und seinem Schweigen zurueck. Eine Antwort auf das Theodizeeproblem gibt es nicht. Einfuehlsam, klug und in feiner Sprachform sagt Ruediger Lux, warum. Weil Hiob mehr ist als ein Problem Er ist ein unschuldig leidender Mensch, einer, der paradigmatisch fuer die Leiden seines Volkes Israel in der Geschichte sowie die Leiden aller Menschen steht. Mit ihm ruehren der Glaube und das Denken an ihre Grenze, an Gott.
