The book of Ecclesiastes is, above all else, unflinchingly honest. Whether wrestling with the tedium of work, the injustices of life, the ravages of age, or the inevitability of death, this enigmatic Old Testament book takes a hard look at the way the world really is. And yet, as Phil Ryken points out in this instructive commentary, Ecclesiastes wisely teaches people to trust God in the midst of all such struggles. Written with pastors in mind, this volume in Crossway’s Preaching the Word series will equip Bible teachers to understand, explain, and apply the message of Ecclesiastes, highlighting its enduring relevance as a testament to the ultimate duty of all people: fearing God and keeping his commandments.
