Unlocking Wisdom: Forming Agents of God in the House of Mourning

by Jim Reitman

Summary

Reitman's exposition of Job and Ecclesiastes is written for serious Bible students and pastors, combining a transparent hermeneutical methodology with detailed exegetical support to explore the authors' intended meaning as expressed in the text. This innovative commentary provides a more literary, canonical, and cohesive reading than is available in verse-by-verse exegetical treatments of these two books of Wisdom---it traces the development of every thought unit through the argument of each book to reveal the author's aim for his readers, making it an ideal preaching commentary.
