ŽITIJE I PODVIZI PRAVEDNOG JOVA U KONTEKSTU STAROZAVETNE „KNjIGE O JOVU“

Abstract

The main goal of the research presented in the paper is the unveiling of the relations between forming the topic, characters and motives in the apocrypha Hagiography and Feats of Job the Righteous and in the book of the Old Testament The Book of Job; the particularities of those relations and their mutual impacts. In the paper, there is a successiveness between the hermeneutic-interpretative, deductive and comparative methods, where the comparative method is the cardinal one. Special attention is dedicated to the way in which the genre orientation affects the topic and motives, as well as the way in which the text of the apocrypha bases its legitimacy. The main conclusions are based on the difference in modelling of the commonplaces in writing, as well as the presence of the a priori characterization of characters in the text of the hagiography and the individualization of the characters in the biblical text.
