AB - This study is presented as a summary of the recent trend of researches in Ecclesiastes, and points out the limit of dialectical theology as its hermeneutical premise. To resolve the unique character of the formal development of themes in Ecclesiastes, the researcher re-constructs the utilization of the “Descriptive-Think-Pattern” idea. In the opinion of the writer, its foundation is laid as the framework ‘Observe-Think-Establish’. This Think-Pattern belongs to a method of the Old Testament’s traditional wisdom. Additionally, the writer verifies this pattern by comparing and analyzing the Bible passages, Proverbs 24:30-34 and Ecclesiastes 3:16-22, which can be regarded as representative examples of the “Descriptive-Think-Pattern” idea. As a result, narration style changes are also revealed, as developments from first-person report to third-person description and then to second-person narrative are in turn seen throughout. Through this tendency of narrative style changes, their author strives for persuasive knowledge and insight to be handed over to the readers. Besides, to ensure the transfer of this knowledge and wisdom, the author uses ‘Synchronization Methods’ as rhetorical tools to awaken the perception of the readers. Through studying the “Descriptive-Think-Pattern,” this study illuminates the importance and prevalence of the tradition of Ecclesiastes in relation to the wisdom literature in the Old Testament. In conclusion, the writer takes the view that the Preacher is a successor and innovator of the wisdom tradition of the Old Testament.
