Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. By emphasising observation and empiricism as a key influence on human behaviour, this work excludes any consideration of tradition or revelation. Scholars often view the apparent scepticism of Ecclesiastes in terms of a reaction against the more confident assertions found in works like Prove…rbs , and the book does indeed seem to deny the possibility of humans shaping their future or changing their fate through informed action. What appears to concern the work's protagonist, whose monologue occupies most of its length, is not any scepticism about God's activity or consistency rather the problems that arise from a human inability to discern divine action or purpose. This study will seek to understand both the roots and the implications of this empiricism, comparing the monologue with other biblical and ancient literature, and suggesting that, although it has points of contact with other texts, its scepticism is largely distinctive and, unlikely to represent some broader tradition. For that reason and others, the work as a whole is unlikely to be a satire, as is sometimes suggested, but it may be inviting critical reflection on the outlook and limitations of its protagonist. Over the last 30 years this pioneering series has established an unrivaled reputation for cutting-edge international scholarship in Biblical Studies and has attracted leading authors and editors in the field. The series takes many original and creative approaches to its subjects, including innovative work from historical and theological perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory, and more recent developments in cultural studies and reception history. By emphasising observation and empiricism as a key influence on human behaviour, this title excludes any consideration of tradition or revelation. It takes an original and creative approaches to its subject, including work from historical and theological perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory, and reception history.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In contrast to much of the other literature in the Hebrew Bible, the wisdom books Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes have little interest in Israels national history and worship, but focus instead on the needs of each individual, struggling to survive and prosper in a world that can be dangerou…s and confusing. This introduction to the study of Wisdom Literature is geared to questions of method and approach. The introduction and first chapter examine the basic questions central to the literature. Subsequent chapters outline the content, characteristics, and thought of each book, and discuss the problems involved in approaching and interpreting them. Examination of the biblical wisdom books is followed by a survey and discussion of other Jewish literature with a claim to be called wisdom literature, including psalms, and works from the apocrypha and from Qumran. The final chapters turn to more general issues of thought, place, and definition, concluding that wisdom literature must be understood not in terms of a shared origin, theology, or ideology, but as a type of literary discourse. Presents an introduction to wisdom literature. This book looks at the historical questions and approaches, discussing the traditional tendency to isolate wisdom literature, and also emphasizing the many links with other biblical literature and thought. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
