Evil and suffering, death and sorrow, retribution here and in the hereafter: the themes addressed in Akkadian writings written in Mesopotamia between the 2nd and 1st millennium BC prove to be fundamental to our imagination.
For the first time, we will be able to read in their Babylonian version, provided with a verified dating, a critical revision, a theological, historical, cultural introduction and a translation into French: Man and his god , the Ludlul Bel Nemeqi , the Praise to Marduk , the Babylonian Theodicy . Before the Book of Job, these works take us into a world threatened by extreme affliction, which is exposed to celestial punishments, where salvation comes from obedience to transcendent laws.
An essential contribution.
