Description

Explore the complex philosophical questions within the Book of Ecclesiastes with this scholarly study from Sheffield Academic Press. This volume investigates whether the author, Qoheleth, holds a deterministic worldview, a question that has intrigued readers from the Targumist and Ibn Ezra to modern scholars. Through a systematic investigation, the text examines the nature and extent of determinism in the book and how it relates to the concept of free will. The study provides a deep look into the key terms and texts used to express these ideas, while also exploring the historical and philosophical sources behind the author's thought. By analyzing the intellectual background of the text, the work concludes that the author was a sage writing in the third quarter of the third century BCE. The research suggests that this perspective was influenced by Stoic ideas, offering a new way to understand the ancient wisdom found in the Hebrew Bible. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in Old Testament studies and biblical philosophy.
