The Sceptics of the Old Testament: Job, Koheleth and Agur is a book written by Emile Joseph Dillon that explores the skeptical nature of three books in the Old Testament: Job, Ecclesiastes (Koheleth), and Proverbs 30 (Agur). The author argues that these books challenge traditional religious beliefs and offer a more complex and nuanced understanding of God and the world. Dillon examines the literary and historical context of each book, as well as their philosophical and theological implications. He also compares and contrasts the ideas presented in these books with those found in other ancient Near Eastern texts. The book provides a thought-provoking analysis of these important Old Testament texts and their relevance to contemporary religious and philosophical debates.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A careful perusal of this first English translation of the primitive biblical text of "Job," "Koheleth," and the "Sayings of Agur" will, I doubt not, satisfy the most orthodox reader that I am fully warranted in characterising their authors as Sceptics. The epithet, I confess, may prove distasteful to many, but the truth, I trust, will be welcome to all. It is not easy to understand why any one who firmly believes that Providence is continually educing good from evil should hesitate to admit that it may in like manner allow sound moral principles to be enshrined in doubtful or even erroneous philosophical theories. Or, is trust in God to be made dependent upon the confirmation or rejection by physical science of, say, the Old Testament account of the origin of the rainbow?

It is almost superfluous to say that this book does not claim to be a history, however summary, of the Peace Conference, seeing that such a work was made sheer impossible now and forever by the chief delegates themselves when they decided to dispense with records of their conversations and debates. It is only a sketch-a sketch of the problems which the war created or rendered pressing-of the conditions under which they cropped up; of the simplicist ways in which they were conceived by the distinguished politicians who volunteered to solve them; of the delegates' natural limitations and electioneering commitments and of the secret influences by which they were swayed; of the peoples' needs and expectations; of the unwonted procedure adopted by the Conference and of the fateful consequences of its decisions to the world. In dealing with all those matters I aimed at impartiality, which is an unattainable ideal, but I trust that sincerity and detachment have brought me reasonably close to it. Having no pet theories of my own to champion, my principal standard of judgment is derived from the law of causality and the rules of historical criticism. The fatal tactical mistake chargeable to the Conference lay in its making the charter of the League of Nations and the treaty of peace with the Central Powers interdependent. For the maxims that underlie the former are irreconcilable with those that should determine the latter, and the efforts to combine them must, among other untoward results, create a sharp opposition between the vital interests of the people of the United States and the apparent or transient interests of their associates. The outcome of this unnatural union will be to damage the cause of stable peace which it was devised to further.
