What is life all about? In the end, is it no more than a wisp of
vapor, a puff of wind, a mere breath? So says the Preacher in the
book of Ecclesiastes. But is this the whole message of
Ecclesiastes? With imagination and clarity, Derek Kidner introduces
this unusual Old Testament book that speaks so powerfully to each
new generation. He reveals how the Preacher confronts difficult
questions and examines extremes of human experience, facing the
fear that God is distant and nothing has meaning. Finally, however,
we are led to encounter the God who was present all along, who
cares about the details of our lives. Part of the beloved Bible
Speaks Today series, The Message of Ecclesiastes offers an
insightful, readable exposition of the biblical text and
thought-provoking discussion of how its meaning relates to
contemporary life. Used by students and teachers around the world,
the Bible Speaks Today commentaries are ideal for those studying or
preaching the Bible and anyone who wants to delve deeper into the
text. This revised edition of a classic volume features lightly
updated language and current NRSV Scripture quotations with a new
interior design.
