"'Of the making of books there is no end, ' says Qohelet. And I am
glad that he is right. Were it not so, we'd not have in our hands
this new and engaging commentary by Pete Enns. Qohelet explores the
deep questions of human existence to the roots, and Enns follows,
in what is a challenging confrontation with this theologically
important and much-neglected book of Holy Scripture." Tremper

"'Trust and obey' in spite of suffering and doubt. According to
Peter Enns, that is the main message of Ecclesiastes. A veteran
commentator, Enns carefully and insightfully interprets the book
and shows its immense relevance for those today who follow the
suffering yet victorious Christ. A must-read for everyone who wants
to understand the important book of Ecclesiastes." James Kugel
-- Bar-Ilan University, Israel
"Ecclesiastes is certainly one of the most fascinating -- and
challenging -- books of the Bible. Peter Enns has taken it on with
equal measures of informed scholarship and religious sensitivity.
His commentary, while surveying most of the thorny issues that have
puzzled previous commentators, never loses sight of the big picture
and the questions that matter most in a person's life. The result
is an extraordinary achievement -- a worthy addition to the home
libraries of scholars and laymen alike." Theology
"Well written, accessible and engaging." Review of Biblical
Literature

nontechnical, and easy to read for professionals and laypersons
alike." Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society

of Ecclesiastes." Stone-Campbell Journal
