Summary
To the modern reader, Pope Gregory the Great's (590-604) comprehensive interpretation of Job often seems to be an arbitrary allegorization which is not backed up by the text and the historical situation at the end of the 6th century. Katharina Greschat shows however that Gregory interpreted the biblical text completely from the standpoint of the requirements of church office-holders in the post-Justinian period.
