Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

The Babylonian Theodicy is an Akkadian poem from ancient Babylonia dated to 1600 – 900 BC which examines the subjects of human suffering, the problem of evil, and the possibility of a moral universe. The poem is an example of wisdom literature of the Ancient Near East in the form of a dialogue between two speakers on a philosophical subject; as such, it is thematically and formally very similar to the Book of Job in the Hebrew Bible. The "Babylonian Theodicy" is written in Akkadian cuneiform on a clay tablet; its dating is based on linguistic evidence. The poem has also been called "An Akkadian dialogue on the unrighteousness of the world" or "The Babylonian Ecclesiastes (Koheleth)."
