The book of Job brings forth the basic questions of the human existence: Is there a reason for suffering? Is there a moral order in the world? What is the place of man in the universe and what is the secret of the relationship between god and man? In this collection of essays, researchers from the biblical, literature, philosophy and art fields, deal with the different facets of the book - the experience which Job was put through compared to the binding of Isaac, Jobs' loneliness compared to that of Jeremiah, the question of Job as a tragic figure, the fear of god and the depictions of Job in medieval art.
