Charles Bridges\' commentary on Ecclesiastes shows that this neglected book of Scripture is: Relevant for today.
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\'..
Sanctifying. \'We cannot fully enforce and apply Ecclesiastes except by the aid of Gospel light\'.
Harmonious with the New Testament.
It has its own sphere of instruction and that of no common value\'. \'On no account could we have spared this book from the canon.
Necessary.
Suitable not merely for \'the light-hearted and thoughtless\' but for \'the most eminent saint of God\'.
Clear when interpreted in the light of its overall theme.
Our land needs to be awakened to the futility of seeking happiness without God.
