Ecclesiastes
Solomon is the speaker in Ecclesiastes, but there is no author
identified with it's text. The thought of the book is centered on six key
ideas. Three of these are negative and revolve around the problems of
life: (1) All is vanity. (2) Man is limited. (3) God is hidden. The other
three are positive and give the solution to life's crisis: (1) Fear God
and keep His commandments. (2)Enjoy life. (3) Use wisdom properly. Taken
together, Ecclesiastes is a book to show men that they should lead godly
and joyous lives, even if they live in a world of divine mysteries.
