Ecclesiastes and Omar Khayyam - John Franklin Genung - Bog

""Ecclesiastes and Omar Khayyam: A Note for the Spiritual Temper of Our Time"" is a book written by John Franklin Genung. The book explores the spiritual temper of the contemporary world by drawing comparisons between the biblical book of Ecclesiastes and the Persian poet Omar Khayyam's ""Rubaiyat."" Genung argues that both works share a common theme of the futility of earthly pursuits and the inevitability of death, and that this message is particularly relevant to modern readers. The book also delves into the historical and cultural contexts of both works, providing insights into the philosophical and religious traditions that shaped them. Through his analysis, Genung offers a thought-provoking commentary on the human condition and the search for meaning in a world that often seems devoid of it.1901. Using Ecclesiastes and Omar Khayyam as source texts, Genung writes that out of a twilight era of revelation the words come, but from a spirit so sound, so ready for the sunrise, that the two thousand years of diffused day that have intervened since only serve to make their essential truth more evident.
