This book is an analysis of early Jewish thought on human nature, specifically, the complex of characteristics that are understood to be universally innate, and/or God-given, to collective humanity and the manner which they depict human existence in relationship, or lack thereof, to God. Jewish discourse in the Greco-Roman period (4th c. BCE until 1st c. CE) on human nature was not exclusively particularistic, although the immediate concern was often communal-specific. Evidence shows that many of these discussions were also an attempt to grasp a general, or universal, human nature. The focus of this work has been narrowed to three categories that encapsulate the most prevalent themes in Second Temple Jewish texts, namely, creation, composition, and condition.

Ecclesiastes --- Anthropology --- Second Temple --- Early Judaism --- Josephus

František Ábel untersucht die Rolle und den Einfluss jüdischer Pseudepigraphen bezüglich der theologischen Ansichten des Paulus. Der Autor zeigt durch eine detaillierte Analyse und Untersuchung bestimmter Teile dieses Textes, dass diese deuterokanonische Schrift einen beachtlichen Hintergrund für das Verständnis der Gestaltung und Entwicklung der messianischen Ethik des Paulus bieten kann.
