The Book of Job
Why do people suffer? Every culture engages this fundamental question of human existence. Late antique Jewish tradition and subsequently the rabbinic sages embraced the idea of life after death as the answer to the riddle. But before them biblical Israel addressed the issue in the form of the Book of Job. This book is a masterpiece of world literature and a vexing answer to why people suffer under a benevolent Deity.
