As a part of the biblical canon, this book is traditionally attributed to Solomon, known as "the Preacher," exploring themes of existence, the nature of the human condition, and the pursuit of meaning in life. Ecclesiastes addresses the vanity of worldly pursuits and the inevitability of death, providing wisdom on how to approach life meaningfully. In Ecclesiastes, the Preacher articulates the futility of seeking fulfillment through wealth, pleasure, and knowledge, emphasizing that all endeavors under the sun are ultimately "vanity"—temporary and meaningless in the face of death. The text famously opens with the assertion that “vanity of vanities” pervades human activity, suggesting a cyclical nature to life where generations come and go, but the earth remains constant. The Preacher advises enjoying simple pleasures, like eating and drinking with joy, while recognizing the limitations of human wisdom and understanding. Throughout, it contrasts the experiences of joy and sorrow, ultimately concluding that fearing God and following His commandments is the essence of a meaningful life.
