Synopsis

What genre is Ecclesiastes? Along with Psalms, Proverbs, Job, and Song of Songs, it falls under the category of "Wisdom Literature," but that term doesn't really do it justice. It's part stream-of-consciousness lament, part poetry, part cultural analysis, and part personal tale of woe. Pile on all those descriptors, and I am going to label Ecclesiastes as a memoir of disillusionment that leads to a triumph of faith. (From the author)


Come Alive: Conversations with Scripture is a guide through the books of the Bible, providing cultural context and insights that bridge the gap between the world of the Bible and our world today. Discover a new and unexpected way to engage with Scripture.
