Preface

Ecclesiastes is wisdom literature that speaks to the human condition unbounded by time.  It's relevant to every generation because the passions and longings of man never change.  Men of every age desire money, power, sex, and social prominence.  Solomon in his journal speaks to all of these.  He's an insightful man because he lived life pursuing his passions, both good and bad.  He can speak about wealth, power, and self-pleasuring out of his own experience.  And yet, he appreciates virtue, wisdom, and godliness.  He's a complex man; he's a modern man.
