Ecclesiastes is, even on a faithful and sympathetic reading, a difficult book. It looks at life with a shocking candor that most of us are simply unwilling or unable to tolerate. But the author does not allow us to avert our gaze. He forces us to look into the intractable evil, the incalculable woe that characterizes life under the sun understanding that though it hurts, it is ultimately necessary and for our good. In this class Dr. Chiarot walks us through this challenging book and helps us to see the world clearly so that we might, with sober minds, glorify God and enjoy him forever.
