Antwort auf Hiob
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antwort auf Hiob (Answer to Job) is a 1952 book by Carl Gustav Jung addressing the moral, mythological and psychological implications of the Book of Job. It was first published as "Antwort auf Hiob", Zürich, 1952 and translated into English in 1954, in London.
Jung considers the Book of Job a landmark development in the "divine drama", for the first time contemplating criticism of God (Gotteskritik, theodicy).
