Ecclesiastes: Searching for the Meaning of Life

We are all searching for meaning in life. But it can be difficult to find if we are looking in the wrong places. What are we to think when, after achieving our ambitions and desires, we feel that it is still not enough? It seems that the harder we strive to obtain happiness in these pursuits, the further away it slips from our grasp. These questions and issues are exactly what King Solomon addresses in the book of Ecclesiastes. In this class, we are going to learn about his struggle to find meaning in life, his failure to achieve happiness in his pursuits, and then ultimately, how he answers the question, “So what’s the point of it all?”
