I hope your trolling with your lack of discussion. As far as Literary merit, it does start the Christ figure, which seems to be popular in literature today. Along with influencing varying artists, cultures, writers, et al.

In the eyes of scripture it's the view of one God, through the eyes of many people. It is contradicting, because it's multiple people's accounts. But each story should be judged by the context of when and how the writer was writing. Some is poetry, some are parables, some are allegories, and some are historical documents.

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
What profit hath a man of all his labor which he taketh under the sun?
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full: unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
All things are full of labor; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Actually I'm reading his work atm, it's brilliant.

"Your life has a limit, but knowledge has none. If you use what is limited to pursue what has no limit, you will be in danger. If you understand this and still strive for knowledge, you will be in danger for certain! If you do good, stay away from fame. If you do evil, stay away from punishments. Follow the middle; go by what is constant, and you can stay in one piece, keep yourself alive, look after your parents, and live out your years."

Kind of reminds me of Aristotle's definitions of virtue in Ethics and magnanimity, with some differences of course. Maybe I'm way off-base there, but what made me think of it was
>Follow the middle; go by what is constant,
I remember something Aristotle said about virtues being middle paths. Too much generosity leads to profligacy, but miserly hording is a vice. Bravado leads to empty displays, but cowardice is a low way of existence, etc.
What's the book called, anyhow?
