Reviews

Barbour makes a strong cumulative case for a (nowadays) unusual approach to Ecclesiastes, which inspires the reader for more in-depth study of both the biblical text and its ancient and more recent interpretations. Zoltan Schwab, University of Durham This is a very good book which can be strongly recommended. Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, Swedish Exegetical Yearbook
