{"product_id":"when-the-horizons-close-9781597528559","title":"When the Horizons Close","description":"On its surface the book of Ecclesiastes appears to offer a type of wisdom that bears little reference to social or historical issues. But from her own perspective in Central America, Elsa Tamez finds in this ancient book a surprisingly current message. Ecclesiastes reflects a time when utopian hopes have been crushed, when the prospects for change seem remote, and the challenge is how to live faithfully in the present while maintaining some openness to a different future. Because that describes the situation of many people today, especially in the third world, the book of Ecclesiastes bears a message of unusual relevance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElsa Tamez is the author of 'Through Her Eyes' (Wipf \u0026amp; Stock reprint, 2006), 'Bible of the Oppressed' (Wipf \u0026amp; Stock reprint, 2006), 'The Amnesty of Grace' (Wipf \u0026amp; Stock reprint, 2002), and coeditor of 'The Discourse of Human Dignity' (2003).\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50359044735250,"sku":"9781597528559","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_381b789e-e8f4-4a4a-a7aa-4a490577e748.jpg?v=1728349775","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/when-the-horizons-close-9781597528559","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
