Who wrote the book of Ecclesiastes? Who are the two voices within the book? Why did we choose this book to go through during Summer? How is a Bay Area person similar to “The Teacher” in thought and perspective on life?

The Teacher’s Final Analysis: The Thesis: All is vanity (everything is meaningless) (v.2) The Problem: What do people gain from all their toil in this fallen world? (v.3)

Busywork (looks like change…but nothing really has) (v.4-7) You are never satisfied (v.8) History keeps repeating itself (v.9) No one will remember you (v.11)

So now what?
