Description

Historically, Jews and Christians - and, in this century, psychologists like Carl Gustav Jung - have reflected deeply on the Book of Job. This unsettling work approaches the absurdity of Evil so directly that we could be forgiven for questioning its origin, or even its place in the biblical canon. Annick de Souzenelle sheds new light on this subject, using the sorts of tools which define the originality of his approach: roots of Hebrew words, depth psychology, symbolic and mythological reading, Christian theology. Job’s “Descent into hell”, a just man overwhelmed by Satan with divine permission, permission which would be the source of scandal, and becomes a true initiatory path. The author of Symbolism of the human body introduces us to the successive stages of this initiation which leads Job towards the definitive death of the “old man” in him and raises him towards the light.
