It is not known who wrote the Book of Job or when it was written. It is written poetically and is considered wisdom literature. The book starts with a dialogue between God and Satan.

Ils nous enseignent qu'aucune expérience positive ou négative ne peut nous éloigner de l'Amour immense de Dieu.

"Le livre de Job" est l'un des Livres du Tanakh (religion juive) et de l'Ancien Testament (religion chrétienne). Poème didactique écrit en prose, on considère généralement qu'il porte sur le problème du Mal.

Dieu va donc prouver à Satan que son serviteur Job lui demeure fidèle, même dans la souffrance. Dieu permettra au diable de le frapper.

Uno de los textos más conocidos del Antiguo Testamento y una lectura fabulosa para cualquier interesado en los textos sagrados.
