Excerpt from A Modern Job: An Essay on the Problem of Evil
There are few writings of which it can be asserted so confidently as of the Book of Job that they are not of an age but for all time. We may, indeed, have to admit that not all times have been capable of appre ciating even its general intention, that, more especially, the Christian Church, of whose spiritual heritage it has been perhaps the most unique and certainly the most enigmatical portion, has consistently buried the burden of its message beneath a meaningless mass of allegorical interpretation. Yet no Christian generation has been able wholly to escape the challenge of its mystery. And now that the caprices of allegorism have departed to the limbo of dead sciences, and that modern scholarship has done something to dispel the darkness in which the more obvious meaning of the book had been so long shrouded, that challenge has become still more insistent.

A Modern Job: An Essay on the Problem of Evil (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book reevaluates the problem of evil in the modern age. Central to this evaluation is a reexamination of the Book of Jobâ"a foundational text for understanding how monotheism has grappled with evil throughout history. The author presents three friends visiting Job and engaging him in debate, each offering a different theodicy to explain evil. Job, however, is left unmoved, rejecting each theodicy as insufficient. The author finds this rejection of Job to be a precursor to modern atheism; a reflection of a contemporary crisis of faith in the wake of secularism and materialism. Ultimate, this book argues that the problem of evil provides a unique opportunity to understand the complexity and depth of religious faith. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
