Helpful, Sermon, Ideas.
This is another book that is part of the class on Moral Formation and Wisdom Literature. This book is enlightening on the nature of this style of wisdom. From earlier impressions of Ecclesiastes, it seems to be a depressing book. The author has a negative view of ...

Tremper, III Longman

Great for Bible study or small group
I highly recommend this book. It is broken up in 7 chapters. Each chapter has a fiction vignette style intro to ease you into the subject. The chapters then dive into scripture. Questions at the end of each chapter are very thought and discussion provoking. Not ...

A great example of what a exergetical commentary should be

The Wisdom of Proverbs, Job and Ecclesiastes: An Introduction to Wisdom Literature
Derek Kidner
InterVarsity Press
, 1985
An excellent introduction to wisdom literature
Derek Kidner is a brilliant biblical expositor. Here, in one slim paperback, he deftly guides the serious student of the bible through some of the most notoriously difficult books of the Old Testament. By it's nature, this is not a detailed commentary, rather it goes ...

Clear thinking on some confusing books
Iain Provan is one of the most balanced and thoughful OT scholars alive today, and this commentary is just another example of his outstanding thoughfulness. His comments on Ecclesiastes help the reader see a unity and logical flow to a book that almost defies logical ...

Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs (The Expositor's Bible Commentary with The New International ...
Zondervan
, 1991
Review of set, not specific volume
Let me start by saying that I have owned the full 12-volume set for about a year and use it quite frequently as a resource. To be fair, I have yet to use this particular volume. However, as there seem to be no competent reviews on the set as a whole, I did want to add ...

Excellent basic introduction to a difficult book of the Bible
