Ecclesiastes Through New Eyes: A Table in the Mist
Bible-reading is more of an art than a science. The Bible is a story, not a lexicon of systematic theological definitions.

This is part of a superb series by a group of equally superb theologians among whom James Jordan is superbiest!

This is a book I read and reread!
Lots of good pastoral meditations.
Excellent!
