Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ecclesiastes and the Wisdom of Solomon: With an Introduction Notes The present number of the Modern Reader´s Bible unites in a single volume the biblical Ecclesiastes and the apocryphal Wisdom of Solomon. It is essential that the two works should be studied together. While they have their respective places in the development of Wisdom literature, yet from the two works previously introduced they stand separated by a gulf as wide as that between primitive and modern thought. Proverbs and Ecclesiasticus, with all their force and beauty, belong to Hebrew literature; the writings now to be considered form a part of that world literature which is dependent of time and nation. In their thought the two works are contrasted to the extent of being antagonistic. But this antagonism is itself a unity; we have here Semitic religious tradition and speculative Greek thought struggling together over the supreme human problems of immortality and Divine providence. No literary styles could be more unlike than those of Ecclesiastes and Wisdom. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
