THOTC: Ecclesiastes

Theological answers to a biblical book riddled with questions

Ecclesiastes is an Old Testament book with a long history of diverse and
contradictory interpretations. Even basic questions -- who wrote the book,
when, and for what purpose -- perennially plague scholars. The book's
theological message is likewise elusive, hidden in riddles and convoluted
trains of thought that twist and turn back upon themselves.

In this expert commentary on Ecclesiastes, Peter Enns neither disregards nor
attempts to resolve the book's many theological tensions and ambiguities.
Rather, he shows how these form the backdrop against which the author struggles
to show readers the proper path forward in their journeys of faith -- remaining
true to the tradition to fear God and keep the commands" despite the apparent " futility of human existence.

'Of the making of books there is no end,' says Qohelet. And I am glad that " he is right. Were it not so, we'd not have in our hands this new and engaging
commentary by Pete Enns. Qohelet explores the deep questions of human existence
to the roots, and Enns follows, in what is a challenging confrontation with
this theologically important and much-neglected book of Holy Scripture. - " Kenton L. Sparks

'Trust and obey' in spite of suffering and doubt. According to Peter Enns, " that is the main message of Ecclesiastes. A veteran commentator, Enns carefully
and insightfully interprets the book and shows its immense relevance for those
today who follow the suffering yet victorious Christ. A must-read for everyone
who wants to understand the important book of Ecclesiastes. - Tremper " Longman
