This book explores the protests of Job from the perspectives of
Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religious and philosophical
traditions. Shira Weiss examines how challenges to divine justice
are understood from a Jewish theological perspective, including the
pro-protest and anti-protest traditions within rabbinic literature,
in an effort to explicate the ambiguous biblical text and Judaism's
attitude towards the suffering of the righteous. Scott Davison
surveys Christian interpretations of the book of Job and the nature
of suffering in general before turning to a comparison of the
lamentations of Jesus and Job, with special attention to the
question of whether complaints against God can be expressions of
faith. Sajjad Rizvi presents the systematic ambiguity of being
present in monistic approaches to reality as one response to evil
and suffering in Islam, along with approaches that attempt a
resolution through the essential erotic nature of the cosmos, and
explores the suggestion that Job is the hero of a metaphysical
revolt that is the true sign of a friend of God. Each author also
provides a response essay to the essays of the other two authors,
creating an interfaith dialogue around the problem of evil and the
idea of protest against the divine.
