10:00AM - Great Courses
Platform: Zoom
Just in time for Sukkot, our focus turns to the book of Qoheleth. In lecture15, "Qoheleth—The Inadequacy of Human Wisdom," we learn that, often known by its Greek title, Ecclesiastes, the book of Qoheleth is one of the shortest books in the biblical wisdom tradition. In this lecture, we will see how this book, unlike the coherent narrative of Job, presents wide-ranging musings on a variety of topics.
Lecture 16 "Qoheleth—Skepticism about Easy Answers" continues on this subject. Like Job, the author of Qoheleth faces a fundamental problem: Do a person's virtues and vices garner their due rewards in this life? A close examination of the text reveals that there are no easy answers to this question. Each lecture is 25-30 minutes and we will take time for discussion and comments among the group after each lecture. 
Questions about the lectures can be directed to Saul Rapkin.
