Does life have meaning? Does history have direction? Do we have a purpose? When Solomon cried out that everything was meaningless, was he agreeing with existentialism that life is hopeless and humans are helpless? "Thus I considered all of my activities which my hands had done and the labor I had exerted, and behold all was vanity and striving after the wind and there was no profit under the sun." But Solomon does not stop with life under the sun--life as we live it apart from God. He boldly proclaims that life does have meaning, history does have direction, and man does have a purpose. Life Under the Sun shows not only the meaning of existence, but the relevance of the Book of Ecclesiastes to the current age.

It isn't fashionable to believe in a real, personal devil. Evil is earth-centered. Allindividual acts of evil result from victimization by a perpetrator, who also suffered from victimization. Individual responsibility is diminished—if not negated entirely—by corporate culpability. Guilt is diffused over us all, so that no one of us is personally responsible for the sins or crimes we commit. At the same time, we are all held personally responsible for the sins and crimes of our fathers—racism, sexism, exploitation, environmental pillage, and other real and imagined transgressions.Perhaps viewing evil as earth-centered would not be so bad if it were not for thecorollary: If evil is earth-centered, then salvation is also earth-centered. The Bible pictures abehind-the-scenes war, one between the Supreme Ruler of the universe and Usurper who aspires to that position. Each has an unseen army in the heavenly places, but each army recruits earthlysoldiers to the heavenly cause. Both of the earthly armies are made up of all-volunteer forces, but there is no neutrality. Either we march to the beat of Satan's drum or we march to the beat of him who marched into hell, and came out with the keys of Death and Hades (Revelation 1:18).
