As a Holocaust survivor, neurologist and psychiatrist Dr Viktor E.
Frankl had a personal stake in the effectiveness of his approach to
psychology: he lived the suffering about which he wrote. With this
new reading of the Book of Job, Lewis further develops Frankl's
concept of Logotherapy as a literary hermeneutic, presenting
readers with the opportunity to discover unique meanings and
clarify their attitudes toward pain, guilt, and death. Key issues
emerge from the discussion of three different movements, which
address Frankl's concept of the feeling of meaninglessness and his
rejection of reductionism and nihilism, the dual nature of meaning,
and his ideas of ultimate meaning and self-transcendence.
Discovering meaning through participation with the text enables us
to see that Job's final response can become a site for transcending
suffering.
