Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture: Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon (ACCS)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Among the Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon were all thought by the early church fathers to have derived from the hand of Solomon. To their minds, the finest wisdom about the deeper issues of life prior to the time of God’s taking human form in Jesus Christ was to be found in these books. As in all the Old Testament they were quick to find types and intimations of Christ and his church which would make the ancient Word relevant to the Christians of their day. Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon elucidates the theology found within these Old Testament books.

Praise for the Print Edition
Contemporary Christians would do well to draw the hermeneutical circle broadly enough to include not only cross-cultural voices from around the world but also the voices to be found in the Ancient Christian Commentary series. This is an excellent sermon-preparation resource for pastors.
