The Preachers Commentary Series combines rich resources of historical setting and textual interpretation with spiritual insights and contemporary illustrations specifically designed for communicators. The author of this particular volume on the Old Testament books of Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon sought to build a bridge between the text meant to its first hearers and what it means to God's people today. Ancient oriental literature is still puzzling to us modern Westerners despite our possession wonderful tools for solving the puzzle bit by bit. David A. Hubbard humbly hopes that God will use this commentary to give insight to preachers, teachers, and pastors to these puzzling texts.
David A. Hubbard, former president and professor of Old Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary where he was a recognized biblical scholar.
