The Relation Of Qoheleth To Contemporary Greek Philosophy (1903)

The Relation of Qoheleth to Contemporary Greek Philosophy is a book written by Gustav Arnold Carstensen and published in 1903. The book explores the relationship between the biblical book of Ecclesiastes, also known as Qoheleth, and contemporary Greek philosophy. Carstensen examines the similarities and differences between the ideas presented in Ecclesiastes and those of Greek philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics. He argues that Qoheleth's ideas are not purely Jewish or Greek, but rather a combination of both. The book provides a detailed analysis of Qoheleth's views on topics such as the meaning of life, the nature of wisdom, and the problem of evil. Carstensen also discusses the influence of Qoheleth on later philosophers, including the early Christian theologians. Overall, The Relation of Qoheleth to Contemporary Greek Philosophy is a scholarly work that sheds light on the intersection of biblical and philosophical thought in the ancient world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
