Wisdom for the Ages: A Season with Ecclesiastes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781461187479)

Twenty-three hundred years ago, a man sought the meaning of life by ordinary means of observation, experience, and reason. He lived at the crossroads of the world, in a yeasty time of competing philosophies and faiths. He had a particular fondness for aphorisms that circulated throughout the Middle East. Eager students, seeking a practical philosophy of life, came to Ecclesiastes' assembly. His philosophy of life and memorable aphorisms, recorded in the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes, is a foundational text of the human condition and a primer for anyone seeking the meaning and purpose of mortality. This is a book that suits every stage of a human life. It transcends all narrow points of view in favor of the universal human condition, realized in every unique personality. WISDOM FOR THE AGES, informative and entertaining, renders Ecclesiastes accessible for our yeasty time.
