The search for truth has always figured large throughout the history of philosophy. However, truth, in Latin veritas and in Greek aletheia, has proved to be quite elusive. One of our most elementary concepts, it is notoriously difficult to define. The classic definition, followed by a great many philosophers throughout history is the correspondence or adequation of thought to reality. Parmenides (fl. c. 480 BC) was the first to individuate this relational quality of truth and his insight was codified in the widely-used mediaeval formulation: “adaequatio rei et intellectus”. This definition pinpoints the inter-relation between the intelligibility of the world and intelligent activity.peer-reviewe

Gregory the Great, the great master and mentor of pastoral orthopraxis, was cognizant
– during his years as bishop of Rome – of many cases of simony in the Church. His great
concern on the matter is reflected in the surprising frequency this practice is condemned
in his "Registrum Epistularum". When referring to this serious issue, Gregory often states
‘as we have written before’. This is indicative that simony was very common, and that
he was using all possible means to curb it through persuasion and reparation. In fact,
Gregory tirelessly spares no effort to wipe out greed and simony.

The paper seeks to delve into an existential question at the confluence of Scripture studies, metaphysics and systematic theology. According to Samuel Terrien, Job, “the hero of the folk tale is a semi-nomadic sheikh, pious, virtuous, and prosperous, suddenly stricken with the loss of his children, his health and his wealth,” James Crenshaw affirms that together with Qoheleth, the book of Job marks "the apex of dissent in the Old Testament,'" The text of the Book of Job raises many questions, both to the inexperienced reader, as well as to the well-versed scholar.
