Description
God Trauma and Wisdom Therapy: A Commentary on Job by Norman C. Habel offers a unique analysis of how ancient wisdom literature portrays trauma experiences in relation to God and human relationships. This commentary explores the complex and often brutal interactions between Job and his God, as well as his friends, who offer little comfort or understanding. The author draws on contemporary trauma hermeneutics to shed new light on this pivotal biblical narrative. Through a close reading of the text, Habel reveals how the wisdom narrator ultimately offers a message of hope and healing, one that is grounded in the natural world rather than divine intervention.
