Answer to Job

Sometimes we are forced to accept a job "dictated from within." Usually we try to avoid it, but sometimes you find yourself up against the wall and it is impossible to evade.

is what happened to Jung, in his life many times. It in these circumstances and under very strong pressure was born his book Answer to Job . This sentence "I was possessed by the urgency and significance of the difficult problem and I could not get away" attests.

This book, the subject of much controversy, has been a resounding success in the United States. In France it went almost unnoticed. ...

"My book does not want to be anything other than the interrogative voice of one man, who relies on reflection and meditation of his readers" says Jung. "It is the strength of both large and vulnerable book, the strength of man alone in head to head with the Bible" added Henry Corbin, a researcher in religious studies as it is defined, who met Jung many times during the sessions of Eranos circle in Ascona, Switzerland .

This book sheds light on Jung's confrontation with the deity. Job, the just man, who was the subject of many curses, gives him an opportunity to address how Yahweh, the God of the Old Testament is full of contradictions: "The reflection and knowledge resident in him side of thoughtlessness and ignorance of self, a resident near the goodness of cruelty, and the creative force alongside the will to destroy ".

voice Jung expresses" the emotion aroused by the spectacle - nothing blur - the divine savagery and immorality of his criminal ". Origins of Christianity we are far from God's image, unilateral right, as it is presented to us since more than 2000 years.

whole experience of man Jung reveals that he has ceased to demonstrate how religious issues were present in every man. Thus, a vision of a God full of contradictions through duality Christ / Antichrist, he shows us how man is necessary to God and how God wants to incarnate in us. Under a more technical name ... is the way of individuation.

Reading this book can not leave us indifferent.
