Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days," goes the famous saying from the eleventh chapter of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes. For many years while teaching seminary courses on the Old Testament and lay study courses in churches, I found that students and laypersons often resonated with the laments of Jeremiah, Job, and the psalms as well as the reflective character of the book of Ecclesiastes. Similar wisdom schools of ancient Israel produced ideas reflected in a number of biblical proverbs as well as the Book of Ecclesiastes, written during the fourth century BCE. |
