The Sceptics of the Old Testament: Job - Koheleth - Agur

"The Sceptics of the Old Testament: Job - Koheleth - Agur" by Emile Joseph Dillon is a critical examination that explores the skeptical nature of the Biblical figures Job, Koheleth, and Agur. Dillon uses his own translation of these characters’ writings to highlight their questioning of traditional religious beliefs. Beginning with discussions with a friend, Dillon looks at Job's struggle with pain and fairness, Koheleth's thoughts on life's meaninglessness, and Agur’s sharp criticisms of morals and religion at the time. The author makes the case that these ancient texts speak to modern debates about destiny, choice, and the concept of God. Dillon's analysis appeals to those interested in how literature, philosophy, and religious ideas connect.
