The Wisdom of Ecclesiastes

The Bible’s wisdom books span the conventional wisdom of Proverbs to the evocative wisdom of Song of Songs. Between these two extremes are Ecclesiastes and Job, which invite us into the muddle of every day living that can range from the mundane to the difficult.

Today we find ourselves in a season of life that is demanding wisdom. But what does wise living look like? The books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job, and Song of Songs will help us to explore the diversity of wisdom. More so, the ancient-ness of these books will be an encouraging reminder that, although our experiences in this world feel novel, they are indeed as old as language itself. Lastly, this series intends to draw on these books as a means to encourage careful observation and dynamic responses to our ever-changing world that result in flourishing life.
