metadata.value: This article deals with the study of the author’s personality of the Book of Ecclesiastes
  as a representative of theological education. Many Western scholars of the Book
  of Ecclesiastes assume that its author was a Jewish teacher. Since the author calls
  himself Ecclesiastes (ἐκκλησία, gathering of people) or Qoheleth (qahal, gathering),
  it seems that he gathered people for teaching. A reference to this is in the book
  itself: “In addition to being a wise man, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge”
  (Eccl 12:9). Thus, he appears to have served as a teacher of young people
  (Eccl 11:9) and had a group of disciples to whom he gave practical advice about
  life. It was a time of great changes in Israel, new circumstances of life demanded
  new answers, and Ecclesiastes, through studying the Holy Scriptures and through
  personal experience and reflection, made a critical analysis of the reality around
  him and those teachings that were spread among the Israelites. On the basis of this
  analysis, he provided answers to young people, trying to form a holistic worldview
  and save them from temptations: “The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear
  God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For God
  will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or
  evil” (Eccl 12:13–14). These words have not lost their relevance today. As a result,
  this work can be useful for analyzing the modern education system, through the
  prism of Jewish religious education, which is closely related to Christian education.
