* Wrestling with the timeless enigmas of life, Ecclesiastes is a fruitful recource for preaching and teaching in our postmodern age. Bartholomew's renowned exegetical and theological skills are evident in his translation and verse-by-verse commentary. Includes an introduction, footnotes on technical details, an appendix in reading and applying the "Preacher's" message today, and an extensive bibliography. 496 pages, hardcover from Baker.

Respected Old Testament scholar Craig Bartholomew, coauthor of the well-received Drama of Scripture, provides a careful exegetical reading of Ecclesiastes in this latest addition to the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms series. Along with helpful translation and commentary, Ecclesiastes considers the theological implications of the text and its literary, historical, and grammatical dimensions. Footnotes deal with many of the technical matters, allowing readers of varying levels of interest and training to read and profit from the commentary and to engage the biblical text at an appropriate level. Pastors, teachers, and all serious students of the Bible will find here an accessible commentary that will serve as an excellent resource for their study.
