| Summary | "A Commentary on Ecclesiastes" by Thomas Pelham Dale is a theological commentary written in the late 19th century. This scholarly work delves into the Book of Ecclesiastes, utilizing an in-depth examination of both the original Hebrew text and its translation in the Septuagint (LXX). The commentary aims to clarify the complex themes of vanity and the human condition as reflected in Ecclesiastes while emphasizing the significance of different translations and interpretations. The opening of the commentary introduces the author's intentions and methodologies. Dale emphasizes the importance of a careful analysis of the LXX, arguing that its unique interpretations deserve serious consideration rather than dismissal as mere errors. He shares insights into the authorship of Ecclesiastes, traditionally attributed to Solomon, while acknowledging modern debates regarding its true authorship. The introduction sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the text, wherein the author reveals his obsession with understanding the seemingly futile nature of human existence and the divine's role in it, laying the groundwork for a more nuanced discussion that unfolds throughout the commentary.
