Job's wife, a cry of protest: a reinterpretation of the Book of Job in the perspective of Feminist Theology

Whereas the participation of women in theological thinking has increased in recent decades, and even without the full recognition of academic and educational institutions, the Feminist Theology has influenced the way of interpreting biblical texts, this article aims to analyze the book of Job from the feminist hermeneutics of the Bible. This is a survey of the hermeneutic approach in the feminist perspective and as a result shows that the sudden appearance and short of Job's wife was not unassuming, but it brings a context of women's oppression during the writing of the book (Persian Empire) and that his speech is the rallying cry of these women. This article presents a different view of Job's wife traditional interpretation, to be misguided and emotionally unbalanced, for a courageous figure who protested against the god of the dogma of the theology of retribution.
