The Interpretation commentary series has been consistently good as a means of looking at texts in terms of how to apply them in preaching contexts; they don’t get too bogged down in the weeds of the details, and while the commentary is contextually informed, they generally focus on application.

Brown’s volume on Ecclesiastes is a middle-of-the-road, useful consideration of Ecclesiastes. He considers the claim of Solomonic authorship as a later fiction but with deliberate intent: to frame the exhortation in terms of the great king who would have had experience others did not. Throughout the work he establishes parallels with the Epic of Gilgamesh and many of the similar wisdom based lessons found therein.

He does not treat the text with extreme piety and finds a good place for it in the wisdom literature tradition as well as in application and exhortation in Christ.

A worthwhile commentary for consideration. ( )
