Members Reviews:
Compendium of past insights into Ecclesiastes
This book has many merits attributable to its author, but is outstanding in presenting a parade of quotations of past insights into Ecclesiastes in a most attractive manner. A disconcerting trait in the book is that Christianson occasionally is unable to understand the text that he his commenting on (and makes this plain by the âexplanatoryâ comments he interpolates in his quotations), most frequently when the text is in (early) modern English; for some reason he seems to be, like many English-speakers, unable to understand his own native language. Another disconcerting trait is Christiansonâs dogged insistence that late-seventeenth-century Restoration England was part of the Elizabethan period.
