Answer to Job

Answer to Job

"Answer to Job" ("Antwort auf Hiob") is a 1952 book by Carl Gustav Jung addressing the moral, mythological and psychological implications of the Book of Job. It was first published as "Antwort auf Hiob" (Zürich, 1952) and translated into English (London, 1954).

Jung considers the Book of Job a landmark development in the "divine drama", for the first time contemplating criticism of God ("Gotteskritik", theodicy).

The author Joyce Carol Oates, in her review "Legendary Jung" (from her collections of essays "The Profane Art"), considers "Answer to Job" to be Jung's most important work.
