Name: The Hodder Bible Commentary: Ecclesiastes
Rating: 5.0 (1 reviews)

How can we live well in a world that can feel meaningless? Ecclesiastes invites us to face the hard truth that our lives are very brief and mostly out of our control. But that doesn't mean God leaves us to despair.

In this searching and uplifting commentary, Eric Ortlund helps us see that our earthly lives are gifts from God. This life may be brief and frustrating, but it is good - and deeply worth treasuring

Very conversational, spot on the money

This is a very conversational commentary, and I felt it super helpful. It's not massively technical, so don't expect detailed word analysis, but I think he nails the purpose of Ecclesiastes. And a word of warning when looking for other commentaries on Ecclesiastes - some of them take a very different view of how to interpret the book, meaning their entire commentary is of little value - get this one instead!
