The Book of Ecclesiastes in part of the "wisdom literature" of the
Bible. It concerns itself with universal philosophical questions,
rather than events in the history of Israel and in the Hebrews'
covenant with God. Koheleth, the speaker in this book, ruminates on
what, if anything, has lasting value, and how, if at all, God
interacts with humankind. Koheleth expresses bewilderment and
frustration at life's absurdities and injustices. He grapples with
the distortions and inequities that pervade the world, the
ineffectuality of human deeds, and the frailty and limitations of
human wisdom and righteousness. His awareness of these discomfiting
facts coexists with a firm belief in God's rule and God's
fundamental justice, and he looks for ways to define a meaningful
life in a world where so much is senseless. In design, this volume
parallels the other titles in the acclaimed JPS Commentary Series,
with Hebrew text and the new JPS English translation at the top of
the page and a critical line-by-line commentary at the bottom.
Ecclesiastes is read on the Jewish holiday Sukkot, the harvest
festival.
