Lessons From Ecclesiastes

The book of Ecclesiastes is a largely unread part of the Bible. Readers often consider it as the philosophical and confusing rambling of its author, identified as Qoheleth the Teacher. To understand him, one must try to grasp his teaching strategy and his central message.

Beginning the book with the gloomy note that everything in this world is meaningless and vain, he sets out to explore all the ways people try to find meaning as they pursue wealth, fame, pleasure and work.

He observes that these are spiritual dead ends and provide no ultimate meaning and joy. He points in a different direction – to God as the very source of lasting meaning and joy, and encourages his readers to open the only door that will lead to eternal life.

This book will be helpful to preachers and teachers of the Bible and for individual and group study. It can also be used to share with friends who are searching for true meaning and joy.

“[Bishop Solomon] is a careful reader and interpreter of [Ecclesiastes], a fascinating but difficult text.” — Rev Dr Bill T. Arnold, Asbury Theological Seminary, USA

“This book is a timely reminder of the enduring relevance of Ecclesiastes for living the life of faith, hope, wisdom and joy.” — Dr Roland Chia, Trinity Theological College, Singapore

“Bishop Solomon does an incredible job of making Ecclesiastes come alive for today’s world.” — Bishop Dr T. Jeyakumar, The Methodist Church in Malaysia
