Enjoying ecclesiastics by William MacDonald / Search for Reality / All Scriptures quoted in this book are from the New American Standard Version / Printed in the United States of America
At one time in his life, Solomon set out to find the true meaning of human existence. He was determined to discover the good life. Richly endowed with wisdom and comfortably cushioned by wealth (1 Ki 10:14-25; 2 Ch 9:22-24), he thought that if anyone could find lasting satisfaction, he was the one. Like many of our contemporaries, he sought the answer to the haunting question, "Is there life after birth?"
But there was a self-imposed condition to Solomon's search. He was going to do this on his own. He hoped that his own I.Q. would enable him to discover fulfillment in life, quite apart from divine revelation. It would be the exploration of a man without any help from the supreme Deity. He would search "under the sun" for the greatest good in life.
