Today: [Ecclesiastes 1] Why Should We Even Study Ecclesiastes? The book of Ecclesiastes is one of the most disparaged and least esteemed books of the bible. For most scholars and theologians the canon of scripture would not be diminished but in fact improved if this one book was absent from our bible. Pastors and teachers for generations have dismissed Ecclesiastes as an “inspired record of uninspired sayings…” Is this true? Are we only to have a passing regard for this book as we focus on more wholesome chapters containing more sublime truths? Or is there hidden manna here provided by Solomon that will afford us greater riches in Christ than we might anticipate?
