| Zusammenfassung: | In this work, the author's dissertation written at Lund University, the ancient problem of the character of the righteous hero Job is examined from a new angle. For many centuries scholars and lay people alike have acknowledged that Job is portrayed both as a pious hero and as a renegade in the book that bears his name. The inconsistencies in the character of Job present the reader of the book with an extraordinarily difficult task. If one attempts to read the book as a unity, no clear meaning emerges; if one splits the book into several, harmonious portions many of these inconsistencies vanish. However, fragmenting the book to achieve harmony, as tempting as this is to the biblical scholar, results in a text which is both boring and not attested in any textual tradition This study adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the further investigation of the problem of character in the Book of Job. To refine our understanding of the debate between Job and his friends and Job and his God, the staging of their respective conversations must be examined. What, one might ask, did the ancient think the Book of Job was? Was it seen as a drama, a skeptical text, hagiography gone astray, or an honest attempt to solve the theological problem of evil? To answer this question, the genre of the Book of Job is investigated and a number of interesting comparisons are made with ancient texts from Mesopotamia and Egypt. However, the Book of Job is not pressed from a single mold; its literary art involves the use of several distinct subgenres to build tension and to comment on the progress of the story |
