Ecclesiastes

Charles Bridges’ commentary on Ecclesiastes shows that this neglected book of Scripture is relevant for today, clear when interpreted in the light of its overall theme, suitable not merely for ‘the light-hearted and thoughtless’ but for ‘the most eminent saint of God’ and harmonious with the New Testament. The message of the book is designed to bring men to complete consecration to God, as Bridges declares: ‘The men that we want are lively, warm, real men- men who have a daily contact with a personal living Saviour- men whose religion is the element in which they breathe, the principle by which they work- men who think of life as the seed time for eternity’.
