Daniel Ligon
Longman's book is thorough and can be helpful in certain specifics, but I have major disagreements with Longman's overall pessimistic interpretation of Ecclesiastes. more
JJKIM

Tim Challies
Many regard this commentary with some caution, but it may still worth be consulting in parts if not in the whole. more
