Here is our next presentation in our summer webinar series, featuring Max Rogland.  Dr. Rogland is the Senior Minister at Rose Hill Presbyterian Church in Columbia, South Carolina, and the 2021 recipient of our Emo Van Halsema Fellowship.  His presentation, titled  "Chasing the Wind? Pursuing the Annotations in the 1637 Statenbijbel (Dutch) Translation of Ecclesiastes,"  considers the link between the interpretation of Ecclesiastes and views on the book's authorship in the 16th and 17th centuries, taking the Annotations of the Statenvertaling as a starting point. According to these Annotations, "Many of the Learned are of the opinion, that Salomon wrote this Book in his old age, after that he had for many years together turned away from the right path of true godliness; but was now again converted unto God..." Such remarks not only indicate the existence of other interpretive approaches to the book but could even suggest that some voices were already denying its Solomonic authorship, as became common in later scholarship. In this presentation, Dr. Rogland seeks to clarify the Annotations' intent in their historical context.  Dr. Rogland's talk took place on Thursday, August 5th.
