Have you ever wondered, What's the deal with Ecclesiastes? Me too. Peter Kreeft does a wonderful job teaching with great depth without making you feel lost or bored. He's honest, forthright and even funny at times. Some points he makes about Ecclesiastes are: it is the question and the rest of the Bible is the answer, it is modern, it is all monologue, not dialogue- but inspired monologue. I would say read Ecclesiastes then read the first section of this book, then read Ecclesiastes again. I appreciated the rest of the book too and believe they should all be read together, because any one part without the other is taking away from the whole meaning of life that Kreeft is getting at. I read this book a little too quickly; I look forward to reading it again and taking notes.
