Understanding the Books of Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon

About the Book

The keynote for combining Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon is that both books of the Bible, written by the same author King Solomon, explore the search for meaning in life but arrive at difference conclusions. Ecclesiastes concludes that the only true meaning of life comes from fearing God and keeping his commandments. Song of Solomon researches the beauty of love which is ordained by God showing that life lived in a covenant relationship with God is fulfilling and joyful. The two books are meant to be read and understood together with Song of Solomon providing God’s demonstration of love and Ecclesiastes revealing the wisdom of God.
