The Reflective Passages as the Core of Qoheleth: Content and Structural Analysis

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

the reflective passages have not been researched as an independent
composition from the perspective of their content and structure. In
this article, I wish to follow Coppens’ lead by arguing that isolating
the reflective passages from the other literary patterns of the book
and exposing their semantic fields and distribution are key to
uncovering the author’s systematic and organized basic argument
against the conception of world order. I will begin by delineating
the reflective passages from the book’s remaining two literary patterns (collections of proverbs and exhortations and lyrical poems).
I will then proceed by describing the semantic fields and the content of the reflective passages. Finally I will seek to demonstrate the
method of their distribution
