This is the best commentary on Ecclesiastes I have ever read. Okay, it’s probably the only one I’ve ever read, but I still heartily recommend it. Wilson shows that the book of Ecclesiastes is anything but the nihilistic ramblings of an existentialist in despair, with a few pithy aphorisms thrown in to get it into the canon. Rather he convincingly demonstrates that it is a coherent and consistent reflection on life under the sun, with a cogent argument, and clear intent to demonstrate the sovereignty of God, and His blessings which belong only to the believer: to be wise and to rejoice in this vain world of sin.

Wilson writes in such a way that the wisdom on Ecclesiastes sinks in, and penetrates into your heart. With his characteristic wit to disarm you, and with verses of Psalm 119 interspersed throughout, you remain focused on getting wisdom from the very Word of God. And when you might start to drift off into a profitless point of speculation, Wilson shows you how The Preacher has already anticipated and answered it.
