A key contribution of this monograph is to highlight how the perspective of illness as retribution is powerfully refuted in Job’s speeches and, in particular, to show how this is achieved through comedy. Comedy in Job is a powerful weapon used to expose and ridicule the idea of retribution. Rejecting the approach of retrospective diagnosis, this monograph carefully analyses the expression of pain in Job focusing specifically on somatic language used in the deity attack metaphors, in the deity surveillance metaphors and in the language connected to the body and social status. These metaphors are analysed in a comparative way using research from medical anthropology and sociology which focuses on illness narratives and expressions of pain. Job's Body and the Dramatised Comedy of Moralising will be of interest to anyone working on the Book of Job, as well as those with an interest in suffering and pain in the Hebrew Bible more broadly."Routledge studies in the biblical world.Metaphor in the BibleSuffering in the BibleMetaphor in the Bible.Suffering in the Bible.220.86392223.1066EDU029050HIS002000BIB001080bisacshSouthwood Katherine1982-947757MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910476775103321Job's body and the dramatised comedy of moralising2141989UNINA
