Abstract
The biblical book of Job is part of the traditional literature of antiquity but is also read as fictional literature in modern times. The figure of Job carries the prayer cry ‘Where is the Father?’ in his name. The story of Job and his passionate dialogues with friends revolve around the questions of why the righteous have to suffer and why God chose them to do so. Job only accepts an answer from God’s own mouth. But how is it possible to hear God’s voice? “Does our society allow communication with God?” (N. Luhmann). This book’s reflections on Job try to extend the thoughts of S. Kierkegaard, R. Girard, N. Kermani, M. Susman and M. Buber.
