Message of Ecclesiastes

What is life about? In the end, does it all amount to a wisp of vapor, a puff of wind, a mere breath-nothing you can get your hands on-the nearest thing to zero? 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 Old Testament book which speaks so powerfully to our generation. His love of Hebrew poetry and his understanding of biblical mind shine through in his careful passage-by-passage exposition. The full biblical text is included.
