[Michael Beck · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great, Bible believing commentaries on Ecclesiastes are hard to find, but Eaton is one of them. This is one of my top 5 commentaries on Ecclesiastes (the others would include Barrick, Kaiser, Fredericks, and Garret). While I disagree with both Eaton's non-Solomonic editor-as-author view and his overall theme of the book, I always found Eaton well worth reading on each passage in Ecclesiastes. He often makes good, exegetically based conclusions then backs them up with cross-references. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to understand Ecclesiastes. A must-read for the preacher or teacher of Ecclesiastes.

A brief commentary on the book of Ecclesiastes. Eaton thankfully draws attention to the gospel aspects of the book. Overall, the work can be evaluated totally within the proclamations that everything is nothingness and chasing after the wind, but the author of Ecclesiastes periodically points to the necessity of having God within the heart to order all things in a person's life. Everything is meaningless *unless* your life is centred in God. Then all finite things are connected to the eternal.
