Ecclesiastes — Book Overview

About this episode
Our culture is a perpetual motion machine, fueled by the desperate belief that the next thing, the new thing, the undiscovered thing, will finally deliver the meaning we crave. We chase after new technologies, new experiences, new political saviors, new spiritualities, and new identities, all in a breathless attempt to prove that there is, in fact, something new under the sun. It is not the black despair of the nihilist. It is the experience of seeing the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer. It is the maddening sense that the deck is stacked in a way you cannot quite figure out. We are a people drowning in information and starving for wisdom. We live in the age of the endless scroll, where the making of many digital books, blogs, and videos is not just endless, it is instantaneous and overwhelming.
