| Summary: | Qohelet is not only an anthology of journalings or an exposition of an individual’s agonizings; it is also (perhaps more) a book of teaching and a piece of rhetoric. It aims to disturb the assumptions and thinking of people in the Second Temple period who think that they understand reality, think that work is all-important, don’t take death seriously, feel relaxed about their financial position, undervalue everyday things, think that the country’s structures are working satisfactorily, and take their relationship with God for granted. The postscript, however, whether by the same author or by someone else, does then reaffirm the truth of the Torah and the Prophets. |
