Reading Ecclesiastes: Old Testament Exegesis and Hermeneutical TheoryBiblical Inst Press, 1998 M01 1 - 319 pages There is no agreement among scholars about how to read Ecclesiastes. Some read it as deeply pessimistic while others read it as an affirmation of Joy. Ecclesiastes is thus a fertile site for an analysis of the hermeneutical issues impacting on biblical exegesis. This volume explores the interface of hermeneutics and biblical exegesis while keeping its focus on the reading of Ecclesiastes. |
