The Pessimist: Bible Lecture by Prof Platner at Club
Prof Platner of Andover concluded the Middlesex Women's club Bible Literature course with a lecture titled Ecclesiastes or the Wisdom of the Pessimist. He described Ecclesiastes as sagacity driven reflections on life, not poetry, with an unknown author behind a Solomon persona and the opening line Vanity of vanities all is vanity. The talk explored the book’s prose and poetry borders and its central discovery about striving after wind.
