Nova Ecclesiastica by Blake Hamilton

NOVA ECCLESIASTICA is a post-modern, literary reinterpretation of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes. More than just a religious rewrite, Nova Ecclesiastica is written from the viewpoint of a 21st Century Solomon (the scholarly-assumed original author of Ecclesiastes). While the book makes no direct mention of that intended vantage point, it can be greatly felt through its contemporary style. Staying true to the original flow of the book of Ecclesiastes, Nova Ecclesiastica takes what was written thousands of years ago and modernizes it using a philosophical approach with current idioms. To all intents and purposes, to read Nova Ecclesiastica is to read the book of Ecclesiastes. However, to anyone who knows the original book, there will be some notable updates in Nova Ecclesiastica that may clash with some religiously traditional readers who see rewritten works of the Bible as blasphemous. There is no doubt that Nova Ecclesiastica will be controversial in some circles of readers.
