"Deemed by some the strangest book in the canon, Ecclesiastes is an unusual blend of autobiographical references, theological reflections, philosophical musings, and proverbial instructions, all probing the seeming pointlessness of human striving." "Explaining the text as it engages our own culture's era of questioning and search for self-fulfillment, William P. Brown's commentary succeeds in discerning redemptive truth amid the ambiguity and despair of Ecclesiastes' anguished discourse."--Jacket.
