"The single best resource for faithful biblical exposition available today. A great boon for genuine reformation!"
- Timothy George, Dean of Beeson Divinity School, Samford University and an executive editor of Christianity Today
"For this outstanding series of expository commentaries, Kent Hughes has assembled a team of unusually gifted scholar-preachers. The series will be widely used and much sought after."
- Eric J. Alexander, Retired Senior Minister, St. George's-Tron Parish Church, Glasgow, Scotland
"The Preaching the Word commentary series is one of my favorites. The focus upon explaining a text with preaching it as the goal makes the series resonate with the priorities of the pulpit. No academic aloofness here, but down-to-earth, preacher-to-preacher meat for God's people."
- Bryan Chapell, President, Covenant Theological Seminary
"I'm delighted to endorse the philosophy behind the series edited by my friend Kent Hughes. Here sounds out the voice not of the scholar in the study but of the scholar in the pulpit. The authors are all able teachers who regularly expound God's living Word to his people. May this rich material give us 'patterns of preaching' that will not only feed the flock, but, by God's grace, change the church."
- R. C. Lucas, Retired Rector, St. Helen's Church, Bishopsgate, London, England
“Phil Ryken writes with practical pastoral wisdom and sound theological judgments. These are the traits of Ecclesiastes and consequently this commentary. This volume is a much needed addition to the dearth of commentaries on this wonderful slice of biblical literature. Insightful. Readable. Recommended.”
- Anthony Carter, Lead Pastor, East Point Church East Point, Georgia
“Philip Ryken’s commentary on Ecclesiastes is a good, faithful exposition of the text, adorned with delightfully helpful pastoral applications all along the way. Thanks, Phil, for feeding our souls again.”
- Sandy Willson, Second Presbyterian Church, Memphis
“Phil Ryken’s Ecclesiastes exposes the futility of chasing after everything under the sun. While reading it I thought of God decidedly and mercifully bending his head beneath the lintel of our impoverished existence. In kind- ness he steps across the threshold of our vain pursuits and shows us a better way. Here we have one of America’s foremost preachers taking a text written by ‘the Preacher,’ faithfully nourishing the lives of pastors who are called to do the same.”
- David Helm, Pastor, Holy Trinity Church, Chicago
