Problem of Job: An Eastern Response
The Book of Job is one of the best-known of the Bible.This paper brings an Eastern perspective to bear on it by exploring what might be the cen tral focus of the book.By adopting a comparative perspective and exam ining Job in relation to various Hindu and Buddhist texts, we argue that a koan-like theme of the "relevance of irrelevance" is at the root of Job's experience.Any attempt at a comparative exegesis of Job runs the risk of foun dering in…

Origen's Interpretation of Judas Iscariot
The post-apostolic generation was not interested in the person who, according to all four gospels, betrayed Jesus the day before his death. This whole episode remained a rather dark spot for the young church, which was in constant self-defence against the manifold powers of the pagan world. It is not astonishing, therefore, that the apologetic literature of the second century carefully avoided this subject. The Judas legend, developing more and m…
The Polarity of the Gospels in the Exegesis of Origen

The possibility of a complete understanding is hindered by the…
