Foundations of Grace: Old Testament

Wisdom & Folly

The books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes contain the wisdom of Solomon, son of David and king of Israel. After Solomon had been made king, he asked the Lord for an understanding mind, so it is no surprise that we find the truths of the doctrines of grace in his writings. In this lecture, Dr. Lawson highlights the depravity of man and the sovereignty of God in the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes in order to establish that God alone has the authority to bring about His saving purposes in the hearts of sinful men.
