Summary:The Book of Ecclesiastes, like many ancient and modern first-person discourses, generates ambivalent responses in its readers.

'Vain rhetoric' aptly describes the persuasive and dissuasive properties of the narrator's peculiar characterization. It also describes how the Book of Ecclesiates, with its abundant use of rhetorical questions, constant gapping techniques, and other strategies from the arsenal of ambiguity, is a stunning testimony to the power of the various str.
