It is the last of the five books of poetry in the Old Testament. As we have seen, these books reveal the basic elements of humanity. The most profound of the five is Job which represents the voice of the spirit in man, the deepest part of our nature.
Psalms is the book of the heart.
Proverbs is directed to the will, making its choices in life. Ecclesiastes is the penetrating inquiry of the mind, searching for answers. It is preeminently the cry of the body in its essential yearning. That essential yearning is for love. From its birth our bodies cry out for love.
