"Crenshaw invokes a lifetime of knowledge to make Qoheleth relevant and understandable to modern audiences."—Jason M. H. Gaines, Biblical Interpretation
"This lively and thoughtful book grows out of Crenshaw's decades of notable work on biblical Wisdom Literature. Crenshaw is personally engaged with the challenges Qoheleth raises, even offering literary creations of his own in response. The book speaks primarily to a lay audience but has fresh insights that will interest scholars as well."—Michael V. Fox, Halls-Bascom Professor Emeritus in Hebrew
"In this substantive yet accessible volume, Crenshaw brings to life the Bible's strangest sage, highlighting the enigmas of his discourse, the ironic twists of his thought, the elusiveness and relevance of his message, and the power of his intellect. A superb introduction for students and scholars alike."—William P. Brown, William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia
"Qoheleth is one of the most intriguing and enigmatic characters in the Bible. His message that all is futile resonates with the way many people have believed through the ages and up to the present. What are we to make of him and his message? James Crenshaw has devoted years of study to wisdom literature and the book of Ecclesiastes in particular. Now he has crystallized his insights in an accessible and stimulating book that I heartily recommend to all who wrestle with the deep questions of life and faith."—Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College
