| Resumo: | Using D. W. Winnicott’s object relations theory in conversation with Lewis R. Rambo’s scholarship on conversion, this paper explores the transformation of the biblical figure of Job. The first part of the paper explores the origins and meaning of the “psychodynamics of conversion” and highlights the paradoxical nature of conversion. Rambo’s stage theory is discussed. Wolfgang Iser’s reader-response theory is identified as inviting an object relations perspective on Job. Drawing on Winnicott, the paper then describes Job’s experience of loss, transformation, and confession—a process of conversion—and compares it to Rambo’s stages of conversion. |
