Ecclesiastes: Does Death Nullify Life’s Meaning?

Dr. Jesse Peterson (Durham University) will lead a seminar on the Book of Ecclesiastes (a.k.a. Qoheleth), and especially its discussion of the meaning of life in relation to death. What problems does mortality present to human life? Would being forgotten after one’s death somehow make matters ‘even worse’? How do we determine whether a life is lived meaningfully?

This is a Living the Core virtual seminar.
