Resumen de Ètica de Job i llibertat de Déu
The autor of the poem finds in the prologue of Job the foundation whereby he can take the thesis of a disinterested and tofal adherence to God-in-himself, or the IPSISSIMUS DEUS to its final consequences. The development of the theme is carried out by the use of conventional judgements and paradoxes which cannot be underestimated, notwithstanding the fact that they might create difficulties for the reader. The present study dwells especially on the understanding of chapters 29-31 where Job is found to be the supreme representative of a morality that has its motivations in the IMITATION OF GOD. However, the answer to the problem is sought for in the entire poem. The chapters 40, 1-5 and 42, 4-6 present a God who, going beyond the categories of justice and injustice, is seen to act on terms which approach grace and faith. These are, therefore, the definitive chapters, for they say that the merits of Job are not able to restrict God. The author of the poem thus restores to God the liberty to give, which is precisely his contribution to Jewish as well as Christian theology.
