Does the world we inhabit offer us hospitality or indifference? This question is central to the spiritual literature of all cultures. In We Find Ourselves Put to the Test James Crooks returns to the Bible’s book of Job to explore the enduring relevance of that question and its philosophical dimensions. Beginning with the puzzle of Job’s famous stoicism and nihilism in the face of loss, Crooks explores the contradictions of suffering as dramatized in the dialogue between Job and his friends. How is it that the friends’ attempt to comfort Job with a rational explanation of his misfortune devolves seamlessly into victim blaming? How is it that Job’s own renunciation of life at the nadir of his pain converts into an intellectual patience that outlasts the advocates of rational explanation? We Find Ourselves Put to the Test gives a portrait of the suffering protagonist looking into the heart of a creation that is, by necessity, both indifferent and hospitable. A philosophical exploration of one of the most enigmatic books in the Bible, We Find Ourselves Put to the Test goes beyond critical interpretation and suggests a way of reading the book of Job that is animated by a consideration of the reader’s narratives and communities, and the limits of his or her own understanding.

Job est le véritable bouc émissaire de la société à laquelle il appartient et qui voit en lui un homme pervers à éliminer. Il permet ainsi à René Girard d'affiner le schéma qui était au coeur de ses livres précédents, mais il fonctionne aussi et surtout comme un modèle pour comprendre notre modernité dans ce qu'elle a de plus horrible : le totalitarisme. Pour la première fois en effet, René Girard s'attaque au monde contemporain, et démonte le mécanisme du procès totalitaire en insistant sur ce qui lui est essentiel et nécessaire : l'aveu de la victime. Pourquoi faut-il que l'accusé confesse une culpabilité dont tout le monde sait qu'elle est fausse ? Ces parodies judiciaires, qui vont de pair avec le culte de la personnalité, suggèrent une rechute dans des formes de socialité mensongères et violentes. C'est tout un ensemble primitif qui reparaît dans le totalitarisme moderne, plus dangereux encore.
