Abstract:
The author 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 whether complaints against God can be expressions of faith.
Abstract:
Weiss addresses questions regarding disinterested love and the ineffability of God raised by Davison and Rizvi, in their respective discussions. Through an analysis of the exposition of Job in Guide of the Perplexed, Weiss examines Maimonides’ interpretation of Job’s intellectual journey which challenges him to recognize the ineffability of God, as well as the incomprehensibility of divine providence, and promotes his disinterested righteousness that transcends the fear of retribution and the desire for reward.
Abstract:
In this response to my colleagues’ chapters, I try to draw together some commonalities of theme in the notion of love and protest. I suggest some future directions in which we can reflect together theologically and philosophically on the common problems and challenges in Abrahamic theism.
