Rezension zu „Divinely Abused: A Philosophical Perspective on Job and His Kin “
"Nehama Verbin has written an important and original book. Through an insightful study of Job's relation to his God, she offers fresh insights into key notions in ethics and the philosophy of religion, such as affliction, faith, and forgiveness. Her acute and probing discussions of these will leave moral philosophers, philosophers of religion, and students of the Book of Job deeply in her debt." -- Professor Peter A. Byrne, Emeritus Professor of Ethics and the Philosophy of Religion, King's College London, UK
