Derek Kidner 
The Message of Ecclesiastes [EPUB ebook] 
A Time To Mourn And A Time To Dance

Ủng hộ

‘Vanity of vanities’, says the Preacher, ‘Vanity of vanities! All is vanity’.

Is that what life is? A wisp of vapour, a puff of wind, a mere breath – nothing you can get your hands on – the nearest thing to zero? So says the Preacher in the book of Ecclesiastes. But is this the whole message of Ecclesiastes?

With imagination and clarity Derek Kidner introduces this Old Testament book which speaks so powerfully to our generation. His love of Hebrew poetry and his understanding of the biblical mind shine through in his careful passage-by-passage exposition.

The Bible Speaks Today series covers every book of the Old and New Testaments, as well as Bible themes that run through the whole of Scripture. These revised editions are updated with contemporary language and Bible translations to help you to follow and to teach the Bible in today’s world.
