On its surface the book of Ecclesiastes appears to offer a type of wisdom that bears little reference to social or historical issues. But from her own perspective in Central America, Elsa Tamez finds in this ancient book a surprisingly current message. Ecclesiastes reflects a time when utopian hopes have been crushed, when the prospects for change seem remote, and the challenge is how to live faithfully in the present while maintaining some openness to a different future. Because that describes the situation of many people today, especially in the third world, the book of Ecclesiastes bears a message of unusual relevance.

Thompson Chain Reference Bible Library
Hi. I just watched a training video led by Morris Proctor. In the video, he explained how to use the Thompson Chain Reference Bible Library when Logos offered that resource. It looks like a great resource and I would love to see you folks offer it again. Is that possible that you will offer this resource again? Thanks.
