Ecclesiastes (Introduction) (Bible Study)

Exploration of Vanity in
Ecclesiastes

The Book of Ecclesiastes, authored by Solomon, serves as a philosophical reflection on life apart from God, contrasting his earlier works like Proverbs. It explores the futility of seeking happiness through worldly pleasures and achievements, ultimately stating that true satisfaction can only be found in a relationship with God. The recurring themes of 'vanity' and human introspection highlight the limitations of human wisdom and the emptiness of a life lived 'under the sun.'
