There Is No Good Thing Within a Person . . . , with Lucia Sanders: Ecclesiastes 2:24

<p class="MsoNormal">Lucia Sanders, Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies and Director of the Academic Support Center at Life Pacific University (San Dimas, CA), is an alumna of <a href= "https://www.wheaton.edu/graduate-school/degrees/ma-in-biblical-exegesis/"> Wheaton Graduate School’s M.A. in Biblical Exegesis</a> and a current Ph.D. student at University of Birmingham. Today’s topic: Eccl. 2:24 is frequently translated something like, “A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink . . .” (NIV). It's the Hebrew preposition behind the words “better than” that deserves a second look, as it normally does not signal a comparison as appears in typical translations.</p>
