Answer to Job is an attempt by the elderly Carl Jung to explore a number of theological issues relating to the Biblical Book of Job. The story of Job basically goes like this: God sees that Job is the most righteous and faithful of all men, but Satan (still an angel of God at this point in the mythological development — indeed, even a ‘son of God’) questions this to stir up shit and bets God that if things weren’t going so well for him, he wouldn’t be such a model human being. Without a second thought, God kills his livestock, servants, even his children — and smites him with a terrible, debilitating disease. Job remains faithful but cries out to know why he is being punished, what he could possibly have done to deserve this. Eventually, God Himself appears on the scene and, instead of giving him any kind of answer, rants on and on about his immeasurable strength and power. Cowed by this, Job seals his lips and accepts that God can do whatever the fuck he likes.

Did this guy even read the book of Job? I’m leaning towards no.
