The Sceptics of the Old Testament: Job, Koheleth and Agur is a book written by Emile Joseph Dillon that explores the skeptical voices within the Hebrew Bible. The book analyzes the writings of Job, Koheleth (Ecclesiastes), and Agur (Proverbs 30) to uncover their doubts and criticisms of traditional Jewish beliefs and practices. Dillon argues that these three figures represent a unique perspective within the Old Testament, one that questions the idea of a just and benevolent God and challenges the notion of divine intervention in human affairs. The book provides a detailed analysis of each text, examining the historical and cultural context in which they were written, as well as the literary techniques and rhetorical strategies used by the authors. The Sceptics of the Old Testament offers a fresh perspective on some of the most challenging and enigmatic texts in the Hebrew Bible, shedding new light on the complex relationship between faith and doubt in the ancient world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
