Ecclesiastes

By: Dr. Bill Creasy

Narrated by: Dr. Bill Creasy

If we were to choose an epitaph for David, it would be the closing verse of Psalm 23: “And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever”; if we were to choose an epitaph for Solomon it would be from the opening lines of Ecclesiastes: “Meaningless, meaningless, everything is meaningless.” Although remembered as a stunningly successful king, Solomon is the Bible’s greatest failure in the end. And in Ecclesiastes, he admits it. Join Logos Bible Study’s Dr. Bill Creasy as he explores Ecclesiastes, a study of Solomon in sharp contrast to his father, David.

Entertaining reading of Ecclesiastes

Though Ecclesiastes is a bit depressing, Dr. Creasy's reading is entertaining and lighthearted. I enjoy his explanations.

Depth with a sense of humor

The narrator brought depth and humor into Ecclesiastes, which can be a dark book. I appreciated his interpretations using examples that we are all familiar with.

Ecclesiastes - Easy to Understand Analysis

Loved Dr. Creasy's brilliant understanding of this Scripture and how he lays out his teachings in a clear manner while adding context for greater understanding

Not up to the usual great Dr. Cresey performance

Not up to Dr. Cresey’s usual standards. He mainly reads the text. Missing most of the time is his delightful commentary. I would’ve liked more of his song “take” on most important and intriguing text.

Not the usual caliber of study

The Dr. is making more personal opinions in this study than usual and I tend to disagree with his views.
He usually makes interesting scholarly and historical additions as the book is read which I’ve found quite valuable-sadly not in this case. In addition, the lectures seem rushed.
