{"product_id":"9789042929401-ecclesiastes","title":"Ecclesiastes","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cp\u003e      Ecclesiastes, Qoheleth in Hebrew, is a fascinating book. It was written       in the Hellenistic Period (3rd-2nd Cent. B.C.) and is one of the latest       books in the Old Testament. The author is in search of an answer to the       problem he poses in 1:3, \"What profit is there for humans from all their       toil at which they toil under the sun?\". The answer is: \"None\".       Therefore, Ecclesiastes begins and ends his book with a statement that       everything is absurd. He does not try to explain away this reality, but       he presents enjoyment of life as the best, though not the perfect,       solution. He has been called an atheist, a pessimist, a sceptic, an       Epicurean, but also an optimist, a believing or god-fearing man. He is       certainly a nonconformist, and the best characterization is that he is a       sceptic or even an agnostic, who undermines all sorts of certainties. He       asks many questions but gives few answers. But all this is meant for the       best: he speaks honestly with a feeling of compassion with tormented       humankind. His book often sounds very modern.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55170389016950,"sku":"9789042929401","price":116.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_30662245.jpg?v=1737401876","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789042929401-ecclesiastes","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
