David Williamson has written a nice sermon on Ecclesiastes called The Challenge of Ecclesiastes. He includes a passage from Harmen Steenwijck (c. 1640) who calls Qoheleth "The Quester." He also has some quotes from Jerome, U2, the New Testament, and others."Koheleth went on precisely such a journey with all his royal resources. Like the kid with a £20 note who buys as many ice creams as he can carry, only to have them melt in his arms, the Preacher-Teacher-Quester declares: '[With] much wisdom comes much sorrow, the more knowledge, the more grief.'"
Williamson also has posts on Karl Barth and Koheleth, and Ecclesiastes and Woody Allen.
