This study explores the interplay between the commendation of
enjoyment and the injunction to fear God in Ecclesiastes. Previous
studies have tended to examine these seemingly antithetical themes
in isolation from one another. Seeing enjoyment and fear to be
positively correlated, however, enables a fresh articulation of the
booka (TM)s theology. Enjoyment of life lies at the heart of
Qoheleta (TM)s vision of piety, which may be characterized as
faithful realism, calling for an authentic engagement with both the
tragic and joyous dimensions of human existence. Winner of the 2007
John Templeton Award for Theological Promise
