When the Horizons Close - Rereading Ecclesiastes

Informationen zum Autor Elsa Tamez is the author of 'Through Her Eyes' (Wipf & Stock reprint, 2006), 'Bible of the Oppressed' (Wipf & Stock reprint, 2006), 'The Amnesty of Grace' (Wipf & Stock reprint, 2002), and coeditor of 'The Discourse of Human Dignity' (2003). Klappentext On its surface the book of Ecclesiastes appears to offer a type of wisdom that bears little reference to social or historical issues. But from her own perspective in Central America, Elsa Tamez finds in this ancient book a surprisingly current message. Ecclesiastes reflects a time when utopian hopes have been crushed, when the prospects for change seem remote, and the challenge is how to live faithfully in the present while maintaining some openness to a different future. Because that describes the situation of many people today, especially in the third world, the book of Ecclesiastes bears a message of unusual relevance.
