This book presents the Book of Ecclesiastes as a single coherent work. Koheleth's fault-finding is aimed at people who persist in missing out on the present. Contrasting with these are Koheleth's positive perscriptions of the present. The two aspects come together in this investigation, which is founded on an acceptance of all that God has created.
This book deals with the world of the psalms, in order to reveal the elements of faith as expressed in the various prayers. It includes an encompassing study of the variety of experiences: How can an individual in distress experience a situation which contrasts his actual reality altogether? What causes an individual to believe that God wants him to live and does not want him to die? What are the individual's sources of confidence in justice as ruling over the universe, and his confidence that the harmony of the universe leaves no room for evil? Virtually all books of the Old Testament express the world view and opinions of their authors, with a didactic purpose on mind. Not so the Book of Psalms: Here we can find an expression of the pious individual's world and his beliefs. The psalms are what the authors sought to place in the mouth of the worshippers, thinking that they would aptly express what was on their mind. Anybody who seeks to understand how faith and thoughtfulness join together with the individual's emotions through a wonderful creative shaping, is invited to read this book.
