Description

I. Qoheleth and Determinism Was Qoheleth a determinist? Many commentators have suggested as much. F. Delitzsch, for example, despite dating Ecclesiastes to the Persian period, nevertheless saw key texts expressing Qoheleth's worldview such as Eccl 3:1-15; 9:11-12 as deterministic, stating that "(Man) is on the whole not master of his own life." (1) More recently, M. V. Fox has argued in much the same vein. (2) Other commentators, more wary of committing themselves on this question, have nevertheless hinted that at least some aspects of Qoheleth's work may be explicable from a deterministic angle. Thus, J. L. Crenshaw states: "If we cannot determine our future, however much we try, God's disposition towards us becomes a matter of life and death.... The inevitable consequence of such thinking would seem to be some form of determinism." (3)
