Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In his overview of the book of Ecclesiastes, Steve Gregg explains that the authorship of the book is attributed to King Solomon, though some scholars doubt this. The book's overarching theme is the pursuit of fulfillment and meaning in life, which can only be found through devotion to God rather than material possessions or worldly pleasures. The book contains a confession of failure and pessimism, highlighting the importance of keeping God at the center of one's life, and pointing out the inevitability of death and the equal end of all people, wise and foolish alike.
