Trije starozavezni liki sprejemanja trpljenja (Job, Jeremija in Drugi Izaija) v luči Nove zaveze

Abstract

: The paper presents the basic features of three Old Testament characters: the wise Job, the prophet Jeremiah and the Second Isaiah within the con-text of the individual books that offer three different perspectives and experi-ences regarding the suffering of an individual and the people. At the same time, they represent three stages in a person’s self-understanding and in the revela-tion of God and his plan of salvation. Within the holistic reading of the Old and New Testaments, the three characters reveal to contemporary man the depth of the existential question of suffering and the broad horizons of the relation-ship with God. He accompanies an individual and gradually leads him to a dee-per understanding of God‘s redemption. This mystery has been revealed in the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and discloses a great value of human life as well as of suffering.
