What’s the point of it all?
Solomon had everything — unmatched wisdom, staggering wealth, absolute power — and he tested every earthly pursuit to its limit. His verdict? “Vanity of vanities.” Yet beneath that famous declaration runs a current of hope, building toward one life-defining conclusion: Fear God and keep His commandments.
This Teacher’s Edition equips you to guide a class through all twelve chapters of Ecclesiastes with confidence. Across fifteen carefully structured lessons, you’ll find clear lesson overviews, verse-by-verse commentary, historical and cultural background, practical applications, and discussion questions paired with ready-to-use discussion guides — everything a teacher needs to spark meaningful conversation and lead students from confusion to clarity.
Solomon surveys the vagaries and vexations of life “under the sun” with stunning honesty. With a God-ward orientation, this study shows how we can face life’s hardest questions with peace, purpose, and hope.
Written for Bible class teachers, small-group leaders, and serious students of God’s Word.
