Qoheleth: A Commentary on the Book of Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes)

Check Price

Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes) can be quite a puzzle for both scholars and everyday readers of the Hebrew text or its translations. People in modern Western societies often find it easy to connect with Qoheleth's thoughts on work, rest, and dealing with those in power, as these themes resonate with their own lives. However, the way these topics are explored in the book can be confusing. Qoheleth lacks a clear structure and seems to jump around without a clear progression of ideas. This might be seen as a unique literary style, but the contradictory statements on various themes leave readers questioning the book's purpose. This commentary aims to shed light on these questions.
