Too often neglected or stigmatized as overly pessimistic, the book
of "Ecclesiastes" speaks eloquently to the uncertainties and
anxieties that people have experienced through the centuries. James
Limburg brings to life this ancient book and shows how it still
offers wisdom and hope in our probing, questioning
twenty-first-century times. Drawing on years of careful study and
classroom exposition, Limburg takes readers through this
fascinating book systematically, pointing out connections to Jewish
festivals and New Testament themes and incorporating
interpretations by Martin Luther, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Rabbi
Harold Kushner. He illuminates the contemporary existential themes
in "Ecclesiastes" - the quest for meaning in life, the
incompleteness of our knowledge, the place of work in human lives,
and the need to discover God amid life's uncertainties. And Limburg
argues that, instead of a summons to flee the concerns of this
world, "Ecclesiastes" is really a call to worldly involvement. Not
a highly technical, verse-by-verse commentary but rather a fresh,
relevant discussion arising from Limburg's extensive teaching
experience, "Encountering Ecclesiastes" will be ideal for students,
church study groups, and any reader seeking to understand the
timeless wisdom of "Ecclesiastes".
