For my Old Testament (or, as U of Toronto calls it, "Hebrew Bible") class, I'm writing a research essay on Ecclesiastes.
I imagine many of you believe that Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes. All of the sources I've found so far have dated the book to be much later, because of its style. I'm going to have to present that argument in my essay, but I also want to present the Solomon, or at least, pre-exilic, argument. I don't want to have to give in to modern liberal scholarship, even in appearance!
Could any of you name me a conservative, but scholarly book on Ecclesiastes? It needs to be later than 1970, and based on fact (ie. "look at how he says 'hebel', nobody said that after 500 B.C."--stupid example, but you know what I mean).
Thanks a lot!
