A famed professor presents a startlingly new translation of this often perplexing book of the Old Testament. Lohfink also argues for a rather different interpretation of the book than one finds elsewhere. Rather than reading the book's perspective as depressing, lost, or cynical, he highlights the elements of joy and balance. The volume includes introduction, new translation, commentary, parallel passages, bibliography, and indexes"".</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Norbert Lohfink, Sean McEvenue (translator)</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Ecclesiastes</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible - Old Testament - Criticism, interpretation, etc</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">223.8077</classification> <classification authority="ddc">L833-N82</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780800696047</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14792/39.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14792/39.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071414.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
