The Books of Solomon (Episode 14)

In Episode 14 of How to Read the Bible from The Bible Project Collection, we explore the three biblical books associated with Israel’s wisest king—Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Songs.

Each of these writings offers a distinct perspective on wisdom, human flourishing, and what it means to live in the fear of the Lord. From practical wisdom for daily life, to honest reflections on life’s mysteries, to poetic celebrations of love, these books reveal different dimensions of God’s design for humanity.

This episode shows how the message of each book fits into the larger biblical story and helps us understand what it truly means to rule with wisdom under God’s authority.
