Need recommendation on Ecclesiaties commentary

[tommyb]

My Bible study group is wrapping up the book of Hebrews and I'm thinking about doing Ecclesiastes next. We like to alternate from NT to OT. A cursory study on what's out there reveals a seeming paucity of commentaries on this great OT book. Anyone have any recommendations? I want something orthodox, not higher critical.

Bridges, Kidner or Eaton are all good.

Ecclesiastes: Why Everything Matters by Ryken

Looks good. It was not available when I preached on this in 2007.

It just came out, as in this month.

Edward Reynolds "Volume 4 of his Works" - Published by SDG. I got mine a few years ago, so I am not sure how easy it is to lay hands on a copy.

I preached through Ecclesiastes some time back and my favorite work, far above all the rest, was James Hamilton's "The Royal Preacher". It is absolutely superb!

Bridges, Kidner, Eaton, Ryken, and Ferguson are all necessary. For technical questions, I really appreciated Seow's commentary in the Anchor Bible. Avoid Longman's commentary on Ecclesiastes.
