Taking Job's trial as a test case, Verbin explores the relation between Job's manner of understanding and responding to his misfortunes and the responses of others such as rabbi Aqiva, Kierkegaard and Simone Weil. She discusses the religious crisis to which the experience of divine abuse gives rise and the possibility of sustaining a minimal relationship with the God who is experienced as an abuser by means of forgiving God. 606 $aReligion$xPhilosophy 615 0$aReligion$xPhilosophy. 676 $a223.106 700 $aVerbin$b N$g(Nehama),$f1968-$01569833 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792293203321 996 $aDivinely abused$93842988 997 $aUNINA
