okay, no books by science fiction authors who founded cults! I meant in scripture.

When I find that I am in need of an attitude adjustment, I usually start with Philippians.

Really? I thought the author's point was that life is futile. I guess I always pictured the author saying all the good things about life with a rather sarcastic undertone. But that's just me.

No, he put his point at the end of the book. It basically comes down to love God and enjoy life.

A prof of mine suggested the ending of proverbs to be a scribal addition, maybe to soften the blow of what the author was portraying. Not a definite conclusion, but I think there is evidence to suggest it.
