The Book of Ecclesiastes (Qohelet) and the Path to Joyous Living de T. A. Perry

The Book of Ecclesiastes (Qohelet) and the Path to Joyous Living

Autor T. A. Perry
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iun 2015
This is the first full-length study of Ecclesiastes using methods of philosophical exegesis, specifically those of the modern French philosophers Levinas and Blanchot. T. A. Perry opens up new horizons in the philosophical understanding of the Hebrew Bible, offering a series of meditations on its general spiritual outlook. Perry breaks down Ecclesiastes' motto 'all is vanity' and returns 'vanity' to its original concrete meaning of 'breath', the breath of life. This central and forgotten teaching of Ecclesiastes leads to new areas of breath research related both to environmentalism and breath control.

Recenzii

'Tony Perry has done it again. Yet another path-clearing book that opens the Bible's wisdom literature to the philosophic mind and the literary ear, as well as to the text scholar's critical gaze and the human reader's searching heart. Perry has transformed received understandings of 'hebel/vanity' in ways that make Qohelet all the more central a guide to the contemporary - as well as the ancient - heart/mind.' Peter Ochs, Bronfman Professor of Modern Judaic Studies, University of Virginia
'[Perry's] examination of Qohelet's enigmatic words in the company of an impressive gallery of thinkers from ancient to modern times is something of a tour de force in bending Ecclesiastes to the task of getting on with life. As a saying of [Perry's] own coinage states: 'OK, all is vanity/breath; now what's for supper?'. John Jarick, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
