Summary: "Expositor's Bible: The Book of Ecclesiastes" by Samuel Cox is a scholarly commentary written in the late 19th century. This text aims to provide both a new translation and a thorough interpretation of the biblical book Ecclesiastes, focusing on its themes, authorship, and historical context. The author engages with the ongoing quest for meaning in life as explored in Ecclesiastes, arguing that it ultimately leads to a reverence for God as the source of true fulfillment. The opening of the commentary includes a preface by the editor that reflects on the historical significance of Ecclesiastes and the reasons for this updated publication. Cox discusses the misconceptions surrounding the authorship and intended audience of the text, emphasizing that it has often been misinterpreted as a pessimistic work. Instead, he posits that Ecclesiastes offers profound wisdom about the "quest of the chief good," illustrating that true contentment comes not from material pursuits but from a balanced joy in life and a relationship with the Divine. The initial chapters also outline the socio-political context during which the original text was likely composed, offering insights into the existential struggles faced by the Jewish people during the Babylonian exile.
