{"product_id":"ecclesiastes-an-introduction-and-commentary-volume-18","title":"Ecclesiastes: An Introduction and Commentary Volume 18","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book of Ecclesiastes is probably best known for its repeated refrain that \"everything is meaningless,\" or \"vanity.\" However, a thorough reading demonstrates that this is not its final conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnut Heim's Tyndale commentary shows that the book is intellectually sophisticated, theologically rich, emotionally deep--and full of humor. While it is realistic about life, it is life-affirming and immensely practical. It is also politically engaged, presenting its critique of a repressive foreign regime in an entertaining and thought-provoking way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tyndale Commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The \u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/i\u003e to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting, and purpose. Following a structural \u003ci\u003eAnalysis\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eCommentary\u003c\/i\u003e takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. \u003ci\u003eAdditional Notes\u003c\/i\u003e provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the new Old Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: \u003ci\u003eContext\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eComment\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMeaning\u003c\/i\u003e. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IVP Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939334848743,"sku":"9780830842650","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_5f6c137c-d755-4287-97dd-a27eeb831542.jpg?v=1775102334","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/ecclesiastes-an-introduction-and-commentary-volume-18","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
