Publisher's Synopsis
The Sceptics of the Old Testament: Job, Koheleth and Agur is a book written by Emile Joseph Dillon that explores the skeptical nature of three books in the Old Testament: Job, Ecclesiastes (Koheleth), and Proverbs 30 (Agur). The author argues that these books challenge traditional religious beliefs and offer a more complex and nuanced understanding of God and the world. Dillon examines the literary and historical context of each book, as well as their philosophical and theological implications. He also compares and contrasts the ideas presented in these books with those found in other ancient Near Eastern texts. The book provides a thought-provoking analysis of these important Old Testament texts and their relevance to contemporary religious and philosophical debates.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
