Product Description

The Book of Ecclesiastes is the collection of sayings by Qoheleth, who has gone on a journey to discover the purposefulness of human existence. This book is an unusual blend of autobiographical references, theological reflections, philosophical musings, and proverbial instructions that probe the pointlessness of human striving. Explaining the text as it engages our own culture's era of questioning and search for self-fulfillment, William P. Brown's commentary succeeds in discerning redemptive truth amid the ambiguity and despair of Ecclesiastes' anguished discourse.

William P. Brown is Professor of Old Testament at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia. He is the author of many books, including Obadiah through Malachi in the Westminster Bible Companion series
