What profit has man from the toil with which he toils under the sun? (Qoh 1,3)
Complete reading of Ecclesiastes or Qohelet
Old Testament exegesis course
The book of Qohelet or Ecclesiastes continues to raise questions. Is it a collection of disparate and juxtaposed sayings without a development of thought? Or, on the contrary, does it present an articulate reflection on the meaning of human life? How to evaluate the figure and positions of the author? Was he a skeptic? A realist? Or did his lucid vision of human reality lead to a belief in the possibility of happiness? What role does his thought play within the Bible?
The course proposes an integral reading of the text of Qohelet, on a translation gradually elaborated in the lessons of Hebrew II. It is therefore accessible even to those who do not know Hebrew.
