Book Synopsis Septuagint: Ecclesiastes by : Scriptural Research Institute
Download or read book Septuagint: Ecclesiastes written by Scriptural Research Institute and published by Scriptural Research Institute. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Ecclesiastes is generally attributed to King Solomon, however, he is not mentioned anywhere by name. Within the book the author is mentioned as being someone called the ‘ecclêsiastou’ in Greek, meaning approximately ‘female cleric,’ and qōhelet in Hebrew, possibly meaning ‘female member of the community.’ The Masoretic term probably originated in the Egyptian term qải henut, meaning ‘high queen,’ suggesting the author was Solomon’s first wife. If qải henut were transliterated directly into Canaanite in the era of Solomon, it would have been qhnt, which could have been rendered as qhlt by mistransliterating an L for an N. The current view of the academic community is to regard the text as a Persian or Greek era text, something that dates to long after the time of Solomon. There is no consensus among academics as to whether it is a Persian or Greek era text, and views are largely biased by the researcher’s view of the text, and whether it looks like it is more influenced by Plato or Zoroastrianism to that specific researcher. In all fairness, the text’s constant references to the dichotomy of light and darkness is similar to some of Plato’s work, as well as the central conflict within Zoroastrianism of light versus darkness, however, the constant mentioning of ‘everything under the Sun’ could equally point to an Egyptian influence of Amen-Ra worshipers, Atum devotees, or even Atenists. Moreover, the philosophical view of the texts, in which the toil of this life is seen as insignificant in comparison to the life in heaven, is far more in tune with Egyptian New-Kingdom era philosophy than Greek or Persian philosophy, indicating that the text may well date back to the time of Solomon. As most major Christians denominations now agree that the Proverbs ‘of Solomon’ include proverbs copied from the ancient Egyptian text called the ‘Wisdom of Amenemope’ (or Instructions of Amenemope), there is a clear precedent for New-Kingdom era Egyptian wisdom literature influencing the works traditionally associated with King Solomon, and therefore, there is no reason to rule out Ecclesiastes as dating back to circa 950 BC. As archaeologists have yet to find evidence that King Solomon existed, he is generally considered to be a fictional character by historians, however, the fact that the Book of Proverbs attributed to him includes quotes from an ancient Egyptian source does lend some creditably to his being a historical person.

Download or read book An Introduction to Ecclesiastes written by A. H. McNeile and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1904, this book presents a critical discussion of the Book of Ecclesiastes, with additional notes on select passages and an English translation. The text was written with two key aims in mind: 'firstly, to disentangle the strands which go to form the 'three-fold cord' of the writing; and secondly, to estimate the position which Koheleth occupied with regard to the religious and philosophical thought of his day'. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Ecclesiastes and biblical criticism.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Dutch Church History by : Herman J. Selderhuis
Download or read book Handbook of Dutch Church History written by Herman J. Selderhuis and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herman Selderhuis as editor of this volume has brought together a team of experts, resulting in a unique approach since each chapter is co-written by a catholic and a protestant author, who have all integrated the latest research results. Each section begins with a brief historiographical overview. The same time, ecclesiastical events are always set within a greater framework of political, social, and cultural developments for which reason each author has taken the liberty to describe its own method. The user will find in this book tables, diagrams, and illustrations. Also many source texts are integrated in the narration. Theses texts are intended to bring the described events and people closer to the reader and, as it were, to let them speak the words. The name of the book as "Handbook of the church history of the Netherlands" immediately brings to mind three problematic complexes which are relevant to its user. First, there is the nature of a handbook, that is intended to be a good tool but also has its limitations: it stimulates and necessitates the use of further books. Second, the area. The Netherlands is a plurality and that is also noticeable in its church history, for each region, town, and village has its own church history. Third, the history of the church for sure is the most important aspect, but this history can only be understood if it is described in the context of political and social developments.
Book Synopsis Ecclesiastes and the Riddle of Authorship by : Thomas M. Bolin
Download or read book Ecclesiastes and the Riddle of Authorship written by Thomas M. Bolin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ecclesiastes, the authorial voice of Qohelet presents an identity that has challenged readers for centuries. This book offers a reception history of the different ways readers have constructed Qohelet as an author. Previous reception histories of Ecclesiastes group readings into "premodern" and "critical," or separate Jewish from Christian readings. In deliberate contrast, this analysis arranges readings thematically according to the interpretive potential inherent in the text, a method of biblical reception history articulated by Brennan Breed. Doing so erases the artificial distinctions between so-called scholarly and confessional readings and highlights the fact that many modern academic readings of the authorship of Ecclesiastes travel in well-worn interpretive paths that long predate the rise of critical scholarship. Thus this book offers a reminder that, while critical biblical scholarship is an essential part of the interpretive task, academic readings are themselves indebted to the Bible’s reception history and a part of it.

Book Synopsis Editing the Septuagint: The Unfinished Task by : Felix Albrecht
Download or read book Editing the Septuagint: The Unfinished Task written by Felix Albrecht and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek Old Testament, commonly known as Septuagint, has its origins in Ptolemaic Egypt. Egypt developed into a strongly bilingual country, and in the fourth century CE, when Christianity was on firmer ground in Egypt, the Septuagint was translated into Coptic. The intertwined and prolific relation between the Greek and the Coptic Old Testament is now aptly reflected also in the joint ventures of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. Since the 19th century, Göttingen was and is the global center of Septuagint research. In 2015, a new Academy project started, which deals with the translation of the Septuagint into Coptic-Sahidic: "Digitale Gesamtedition und Übersetzung des koptisch-sahidischen Alten Testaments". Finally, in 2020, the new long-term project "Die Editio critica maior des griechischen Psalters" started at the Göttingen Academy. Both projects work closely together, and the present volume is one of the results of this fruitful collaboration.

Book Synopsis Reading Ecclesiastes Intertextually by : Katharine J. Dell
Download or read book Reading Ecclesiastes Intertextually written by Katharine J. Dell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume continues the study of intertextuality in the 'Wisdom Literature' initiated in Reading Job Intertextually (Dell and Kynes, T&T Clark, 2012). Like that book, Reading Ecclesiastes Intertextually provides the first comprehensive treatment of intertextuality in this wisdom text. Articles address intertextual resonances between Ecclesiastes and texts across the Hebrew canon, along with texts throughout history, from Greek classical literature to the New Testament, Jewish and Christian interpretation, and existential and Modern philosophy. As a multi-authored volume that gathers together scholars with expertise on this diverse array of texts, this collection provides exegetical insight that exceeds any similar attempt by a single author. The contributors have been encouraged to pursue the intertextual approach that best suits their topic, thereby offering readers a valuable collection of intertextual case studies addressing a single text.

Book Synopsis Septuaginta: 2. Ecclesiastes by : Felix Albrecht
Download or read book Septuaginta: 2. Ecclesiastes written by Felix Albrecht and published by . This book was released on 1931 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...The creation and propagation of a critical text of the LXX/OG has been a basic concern in modern scholarship. The two great text editions begun in the early 20th century are the Cambridge Septuagint and the Göttingen Septuagint, each with a 'minor edition' (editio minor) and a 'major edition' (editio maior). For Cambridge this means respectively H.B. Swete, The Old Testament in Greek (1909-1922) and the so-called 'Larger Cambridge Septuagint' by A.E. Brooke, N. McLean, (and H. St. John Thackeray) (1906- ). For Göttingen it denotes respectively Alfred Rahlfs's Handausgabe (1935) and the 'Larger Göttingen Septuagint' (1931- ). Though Rahlfs (editio minor) can be called a semi-critical edition, the Göttingen Septuaginta (editio maior) presents a fully critical text, as described below. While both the Cambridge and Göttingen editions collect and organize textual evidence, they are based on different text-critical approaches. Whereas the Swete-Cambridge edition is 'diplomatic' (see below) the Rahlfs-Göttingen edition is expressly 'critical.' The difference between them did not, however, arise from any theoretical disagreement but, instead, from practical considerations. Whereas in the Cambridge view a critical edition of the LXX/OG was premature, Göttingen judged that its time had come. The Cambridge Septuagint project has since lapsed (1940), but the Göttingen editio maior continues. The central importance of critical editions in modern Septuagint Studies and their continued development is, therefore, not in doubt. Whereas a diplomatic edition uses as its base text a single, 'best' manuscript, to which other textual evidence is collated and organized into an apparatus, a critical text of the LXX/OG may be described as a collection of the oldest recoverable texts, carefully restored book by book (or section by section), aiming at achieving the closest approximation to the original translations (from Hebrew or Aramaic) or compositions (in Greek), systematically reconstructed from the widest array of relevant textual data (including controlled conjecture). The Göttingen Septuagint features two apparatuses (as does the Larger Cambridge Septuagint), the first for LXX/OG textual evidence proper and the second for so-called hexaplaric evidence, i.e. 'rival' translations/revisions of the translated LXX/OG (such as circulated under the labels 'Theodotion, ' 'Aquila, ' and 'Symmachus'), preserved largely through the influence of Origen's Hexapla. For LXX/OG research the importance of both apparatuses is second only to the critical text itself. Though in the nature of the case, the quest for each lost Greek original is without end, it is equally true that responsible research uses such critical texts as its starting point. Similarly, though the Greek original is not claimed to be superior to subsequent text-forms that have been generated (usually by revision of various sorts) in its transmission history, it nevertheless has logical as well as historical priority. It follows from the above that electronic tools aimed at facilitating research on the Septuagintal materials -- whether the LXX/OG as produced and published (the original text) or the LXX/OG as transmitted and received (i.e. its later history) -- ought to make use of the best available critical editions as base text rather than non-critical editions, a practice which would have a regressive effect on scholarship."--
