The Return of the Accuser as God’s Defender: A Diabolical Reception of Elihu in Elie Wiesel’s The Trial of God
While a wealth of recent scholarship and popular reception has suggested the Elihu speeches in Job 32-37 are redundant and perhaps do not belong, still others maintain the character’s status as revelatory and divinely-inspired within the narrative.

| 520 | |a While a wealth of recent scholarship and popular reception has suggested the Elihu speeches in Job 32-37 are redundant and perhaps do not belong, still others maintain the character’s status as revelatory and divinely-inspired within the narrative. This article highlights Elie Wiesel’s little-noticed contribution to the discourse on Elihu through a reading of Wiesel’s play, The Trial of God . The play expands on an interpretation of Elihu first found in the pseudepigraphal Testament of Job and suggests that Elihu is a truly diabolical character who threatens the faithfulness of the righteous sufferer. This article begins with a brief survey of recent scholarly reception of Elihu, then offers a close reading of Wiesel’s analogue to Elihu in his play. The article concludes with a discussion of the ways Wiesel’s reception of Elihu can aid biblical scholars and theologians in their work on the Book of Job. | ||
