Making Sense of Ecclesiastes

Making Sense Of Ecclesiastes: Finding Meaning in a Meaningless World is a commentary on the book of Ecclesiastes, which has always presented interpretive problems for readers and teachers. It is often difficult to know whether Solomon was speaking from ignorance, opinion, or inspiration. Ecclesiastes has been used by atheists and cults to cast confusion as to its truth and validity in Scripture. Commentators have had their own problems, often yielding to a view that compromises the validity or trustworthiness of the book. The questionable parts of Ecclesiastes are expounded by understanding that some experiences in this life will not be understood until eternity, when God's eternal purpose is revealed. In the meantime, what can't be understood on earth now must be accepted by faith in the wisdom of God.
