| Description |
The aphorisms of the “Preacher” in the Book of Ecclesiastes have given laymen and scholars of the Bible considerable difficulty. How do they fit into Biblical literature? When and why were they written? What messages have they for us? Dr. Boyd does his usual fine job of informing the viewer of the background and of guiding him in understanding complicated passages. Among other interesting points is Dr. Boyd’s suggestion that the Book of Ecclesiastes may be understood as the first example of the personal essay, one that contains ideas on the best way to live and the goals to pursue.
