Hey guys, I was thinking through all the different aspects that we have discussed the last 2 weeks, so I put together a rough outline of those topics. I'm just trying to get the ball rolling so definitely throw out ideas or changes.
It wouldn't really let me make an outline, so the bold are the main points and the italics are subpoints. Looking at it, it seems like Rob might have too much to handle, so just give some ideas on splitting the material. Maybe someone else could do the "background" stuff?? There are a couple other things of which I wasn't sure who would or wanted to cover that issue...so, whatever you guys think or want to do or change, just say.
1. Background (Authorship/Date) [Rob]
2. Interpretive Issues (Contradictions) [Rob]
3. Interpretive Approaches
A. Approaches to Contradictions (unity vs. disunity) [Rob]
**10 in Keiser's notes; maybe others??
B. Approaches to Message/Theme
**"vanity", "profit", "portion", "toil", "joy", "wisdom", Retribution, Fear of God, Death, nature of God (in Word Bib. Comm. by Murphy)
4.Recommended Interpretive Approach (our group's)
A. Explanation of Contradictions and Message/Theme
B. Internal Issues (structure, wordplay, etc.) [Caleb]
C. OT Bib. Theo. (Genesis & Wisdom Lit.) [Stephen]
D. NT Bib. Theo (Application, Preaching, Epistemology) [Andrew]

Hey guys I just happened to be in the library this AM waiting for the coffee to brew and picked up the latest edition of BibSac and it has an article in it on Ecclesiastes 3:11. I just skimmed it and it is all about a textual variant for the word normally translated as "eternity" in that verse. It is interesting, and it would be good for us to include that maybe in Caleb's work as a current discussion on text of Ecclesiastes itself. Just FYI.
I added some other aticles and stuff. The articles at CTS also have lectures you can listen to also.
