Introducing a fantastic Bible Study resource on Ecclesiastes 

Many people are on a quest for the meaning of life and just like Solomon they ask some pretty fundamental questions including, ‘Is life worth living?’

The book of “Ecclesiastes” is part of Old Testament wisdom literature; a kind of ancient diary with supreme contemporary relevance, as it raises the timeless issue of the meaning of human existence. Remarkably, Solomon draws his conclusion right at the beginning (Eccl 1:2): “Everything is meaningless!” Looking back on his life, theTeacher is qualified to pass a judgement. He has been totally devoted to his quest; he has lived life to the full and turned every dream and fantasy into reality.

 Nonetheless he concludes that life – no matter how much he fills it with fun, money, sex and power – is ultimately futile. He also discovers that nature itself is nothing but an endless cycle of repetition, leading nowhere; as for our individual lives they are marked by transience; ... there appears to be no hope ‘under the sun’, but as he helps us understand, there is hope above it!
