Qoheleth's Hope

The Message of Ecclesiastes in a Broken World

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the main interpretive debate related to the book of Ecclesiastes--namely, is the author a pessimist or an optimist? Brian Neil Peterson argues that Qoheleth's message is not a pessimistic assessment of life, but rather a message of hope in the midst of a broken world due to the Fall.
