Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs (Understanding the Bible Commentary | UBC)
Overview
Authors Roland E. Murphy and Elizabeth Huwiler help you understand Hebrew thought expressed in wisdom literature and poetry. Murphy brings clarity to Proverbs via literary insight and intrabook connections. Huwiler sets Ecclesiastes in the larger biblical context and offers a reliable guide through this consideration of existence and meaning. Finally, Murphy explores the rich imagery of Song of Songs—a celebration of the goodness of human sexuality and love.
Elizabeth Huwiler contributed the commentary on Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs to Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, vol. 12 of the New International Biblical Commentary Old Testament series. She is associate professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at The Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia and an ordained minister of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
