Commentaries

In Ecclesiastes, popular scholar Peter Enns neither disregards nor attempts to resolve the book's many theological tensions and ambiguities. Rather, he demonstrates how these form the backdrop against which the author struggles to show readers how to remain true to the tradition to "fear God and keep the commandments" despite the apparent futility of human existence.

Paul is traditionally seen as one of the founders of Christian sexual asceticism. As early as the 2nd century church leaders looked to him as a model for their lives of abstinence. But did they read Paul correctly? Here, Will Deming answers these questions in provocative new ways while shows that the conceptual world in which Paul lived and wrote had substantially vanished by 100 C.E. along with his conceptions of sex.
