- 도서
In this episode, Professor Robert Alter joins the Letter of Liberty to discuss two of the Bible's most powerful books: Ecclesiastes, or Qohelet, and Second Isaiah (Isaiah 40-55). Alter speaks about the radicalism of Qohelet, the mere breath that animates its underlying message and meditation, its separateness from the rest of the Hebrew Bible, and more.
He also speaks about the consoling poetry of Second Isaiah: What is the promise? Who is the suffering servant? Is a good God responsible for evil?
His Hebrew Bible will be out in December: http://books.wwnorton.com/books/detail.aspx?ID=4294996777
