Description

Contrary to "popular belief", the Book of Ecclesiastes (Qoheleth) is not a "book of joy". Anderson closely examines the seven "joy statements" of Qoheleth which appear to be complex ironies-whereby what is said is both meant and not meant. Consequently Qoheleth still leaves the reader guessing about the meaning of life. Table Of Contents Abstract Preface Acknowledgements Abbreviations Introduction 1. Exegesis Of The Joy Statements 2. Form Criticism Of The Joy Statements And Additional Exegetical Notes 3. What Is Scepticism And Can It Be Found In The Hebrew Bible? 4. Interpretation Of The Joy Statements 5.
