Abstract

This essay traces parallels between logotherapy and the biblical book of Job in an attempt at a psyco-theological rereading of the Bible. The focal points are the tragedies of the people involved, Viktor Frankl during the Second World War, and Job. For Frankl the meaning of life is fulfilled basically on the road of exercising the creative values, the life values and the attitudinal values. From the point of view of existential psychology and contextual theology each of these “roads” can easily lead to unhealthy “shortcuts.”
