Who is Job? Is he really as patient as they say? How is it possible to talk about his journey when he stands still in the midst of dust and ashes? And who are his friends? But above all, who is that God against whom he protests to the point of challenging him to a duel?
The questions that give rise to the narrative approach proposed by Maspero speak to every man, in every age. Reading the book of Job always obliges us to move from the third person to the first, in order to rethink our conception of the world and history in the light of the possibility of a personal relationship with the Creator disclosed by Christ.
