A-Z: Books of the Bible: Ecclesiastes
Genre
OT Wisdom literatureDescription
Rather disjointed and bleak collection of thoughts and sayings about life; attributed to Solomon; conclusions are that life without God is futile and empty, the cycles of nature and history are constantly repeating themselves and that 'There is nothing new under the sun'
In the Old Testament the son of David; third king of Israel, whose Temple to God was a magnificent symbol of God's might. Famous for his wisdom.
The Bible describes God as the unique supreme being, creator and ruler of the universe.
