Proverbs & Ecclesiastes (Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible | BTC)

Overview

Based on a theological reading of Scripture, Treier’s commentary on Proverbs and Ecclesiastes compares and contrasts these very different books and examines their connection to each other and to the whole canon. He discusses their textual ethos and clarity of logos; and interprets them as words from God, about God, and within the one Word of God.

With Logos, every word is essentially a link! Scripture references link directly to the Bibles in your library—both the original language texts and English translations. Double-clicking any word automatically opens your lexicons to the relevant entry, making Latin words instantly accessible. With Logos, you can quickly move from the table of contents to your desired content, search entire volumes and collections by topic, title, or Scripture reference.

Praise for the Print Edition

Treier’s new commentary is a rare gift: rich theological reflection and wisdom from and on Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. It fills a serious gap in much Christian thought and practice.
