Reviews
Ellul, a noted French Christian activist, provides a meditation on a biblical book that he has studied for many years. Although he is the author of more than 40 books and has written two more books since The Reason for Being , Ellul says that this book is the conclusion to his lifework. Ellul is sensitive to Ecclesiastes's ambiguity and irony as he discusses the themes of vanity, wisdom, and God, and the ritual context (the Feast of Sukkot) that he finds central to the book. Ellul successfully clarifies the book's relevance for contemporary society clear. Highly recommended for seminary, academic, and large public libraries.
