Mendekonstruksi Ciptaan: Sebuah Tafsir Ayub Pasal 3:1-26

Abstract

In this article the conventional image of the character of Job as patient and trusting in face of a series of calamities, and such receives back all that he has lost before as can be found in the prologue (chapters 1-2) and the epilogue (chapter 42) of the Book of Job, is contrasted with the character of Job in chapter 3, in which Job is pictured as facing the end of everything, including the end of his life himself. For him it is the end of the world, the collapse of creation, or better, the return of creation to chaos. That is why the title contained the term “deconstruction”, and by employing the theory of deconstruction, the stages where Job is deconstructing creation are described and analysed.
