Is this a paradox? edit
Why is this in the paradoxes category? 84.87.183.181 (talk) 15:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- It fits the general definition of something having contradictory qualities. Here is a Google Books link, I'll add a properly formatted reference when I get around to it. Paradoctor (talk) 22:32, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
Category deletions edit
I have deleted two of the categories in this article as being too broad. 1)Paradoxes because the category Theodicy is already a sub-category of paradox. The particular paradox of Theodicy is a snugger fit for this article. 2)Philosophy of religion. Again, this seems too broad, and this piece of literature more properly concerns itself with the particular philsophical question of theodicy. Theodicy is also a subcategory under Philosophy of religion.
Date? edit
What is known about when this originated and was first recorded?
Ludlul bēl nēmeqi and Babylonia Theodicy edit
Both these poems are compared to The Book of Job in a number of sources, and I thought they were the same poem as a result, but, in case this is presumed the case by another editor (no reason any other editor should presume this, but in any case) > The Divine Verdict: A Study of Divine Judgement in the Ancient Religions By John Gwyn Griffiths page 36 to 37 shows they are different works.Whalestate (talk) 22:37, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
Merge proposal edit
It seems reasonable, as suggested last year, to merge Šubši-mašrâ-Šakkan given that the narrator is known only through the poem, so by WP:1E is best discussed here. Klbrain (talk) 20:16, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
