Description: Product Description : The Book of Ecclesiastes (The New International Commentary on the Old Testament) Ecclesiastes is one of the most fascinating and hauntingly familiar books of the Old Testament The sentiments of the main speaker of the book a person given the name Qohelet sound incredibly modern Expressing the uncertainty and anxieties of our own age he is driven by the question Where can we find meaning in the worldBut while Qohelets question resonates with readers today his answer is shocking Meaningless says Qohelet everything is meaningless How does this pessimistic perspective fit into the rest of biblical revelation In this commentary Tremper Longman III addresses this question by taking a canonicalChristocentric approach to the meaning of EcclesiastesLongman first provides an extensive introduction to Ecclesiastes exploring such background matters as authorship language genre structure literary style and the books theological message He argues that the author of Ecclesiastes is not Solomon as has been traditionally thought but a writer who adopts a Solomonic persona In the versebyverse commentary that follows Longman helps clarify the confusing sometimes contradictory message of Ecclesiastes by showing that the book should be divided into three sections a prologue 1111 Qohelets autobiographical speech 112127 and an epilogue 12814 and that the frame narrative provided by prologue and epilogue is the key to understanding the message of the book as a whole( it is an used product )
