What are we to make of it? In this original translation and commentary, Rev. Dr. Bollhagen suggests that while Solomon faces a sad, sinful world in Ecclesiastes, he nonetheless preaches a childlike and resilient faith in the promises of God. Bollhagen dwells with Solomon on the question, \"Where is joy in suffering?\" and locates it in the hope of salvation we receive through the person of Christ. Here, the fleeting nature of earthly life is acknowledged, but Ecclesiastes' Divine wisdom instills both faith in and fear of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded Essays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePessimism, Realism, Faith, and Hope in Ecclesiastes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod's Wisdom is Divine, and Wisdom Begets the New Creation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn Riches According to Ecclesiastes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text.
