[Job's Speeches. Between Self-Reflection, Lament, and Dispute]
The contributions in this anthology explore the intricate interplay between self-reflection, lament, and dispute within Job’s speeches. The first section sheds light on both self-reflective processes and fundamental anthropological determinations present in the Book of Job. In the second section, the authors analyse Job’s portrayal of God and his use of prayer language. Alongside intertextual references to the Psalms, humorous allusions and traumatological implications of Job’s words also come into focus. The final section is dedicated to the social relevance of Job’s speeches, which not only reflect on himself and lament to God, but also reveal social connections and hold Job’s peers accountable.
