2021 Catholic Media Association Award third place award in academic
studies Qoheleth, also called Ecclesiastes, has been bad news for
women throughout history. In this commentary Lisa Wolfe offers
intriguing new possibilities for feminist interpretation of the
book's parts, including Qoheleth's most offensive passages, and as
a whole. Throughout her interpretation, Wolfe explores multiple
connections between this book and women of all times, from
investigating how the verbs in the time poem in 3:1-8 may relate to
biblical and contemporary women alike, to noting that if 11:1
indicates ancient beer making it thus reveals the women who made
the beer itself. In the end, Wolfe argues that, by struggling with
the perplexing text of Qoheleth, we may discover fruitful,
against-the-grain reading strategies for our own time.
