The Wisdom Literature books of Ecclesiastes, Job, and Song of Songs. These books give us a masterclass on how to navigate three universal experiences: the struggle for purpose, the longing for love, and the battle for hope. Philosophically, these books dive into the fundamental questions of life that span history, cultures, and continents: Is there meaning in this life? Why is there so much suffering? Where can I find real love? Spiritually, these books help us understand faith in the midst of searching, hope in the midst of suffering, and love in the midst of longing, while showing us a picture of our God to whom all goodness, truth, and beauty point. Ultimately, these books point us to Jesus who is the object of our faith, source of our hope, and aim of our lives.
