The Book of Ecclesiastes
Book • 2023
The Book of Ecclesiastes is a part of the Hebrew Wisdom Literature that delves into the meaning of life and human existence.
It questions the doctrine of retributive justice and observes that human endeavors, wealth, power, and pleasures are ultimately fleeting and meaningless without a divine perspective.
The book is structured around the refrain 'Vanity of vanities All is vanity!
' and emphasizes the importance of fearing God and keeping His commandments as the foundation of true happiness and purpose.
It also reflects on the limitations of human wisdom, the inevitability of death, and the transience of life, advising readers to enjoy the good things God provides while they can.
