Title: B-Hebrew: Commentaries on Qohelet
Kimmo,

I strongly recommend

Fox, Michael  V. A Time to Tear Down and a Time to Build Up: A Rereading of Ecclesiastes.  Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1999.

Aside from the author being my dissertation advisor [so I'm required to like the book ; ) ] this extensive re-writing of his Qohelet and His Contradictions (which R. E. Murphy called "the best available study in English" in The Tree of Life) goes well beyond the standard commentaries in both detail and insight.

Hi all,

I am looking for scholarly commentaries on Qohelet, especially ones that
have a good grasp of the (modern scholarly) research tradition. The
focus of my interest is in content analysis, not so much authorial and
dating issues.

What are your favorites and why? I appreciate also references to
stimulating articles.
Kimmo
