I've got it sitting here in my study, but I haven't really looked at it much at all. There's always something to learn from different commentators, even if they don't line up with everything I believe about the book.

What do you think of Enns' Ecclesiastes commentary? Do you think one can benefit from a Ecclesiastes commentary even if it posits a non-Solomon authorship?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558461285642691762.post-9348374548256650052008-12-21T22:17:00.000-06:002008-12-21T22:17:00.000-06:00I'll try to be brief, just don't think I'm being p...I'll try to be brief, just don't think I'm being punchy. ;) One point at a time.<BR/><BR/>In your post "Isn't Christmas rooted in a pagan holiday," you point to the early church to prove that Christmas was celebrated on Dec. 25th. Point taken. But this same early church discouraged and frowned upon people decorating with evergreens, especially mistletoe, during the Advent/Christmas season due to it's attachment with pagan festivals during that same time of year. You seem to be taking one aspect of the early church to prove your point, but are ignoring the rest. Aren't you treating history like a buffet line, just taking from it what suits you?The Goldman Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663068181782377766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558461285642691762.post-3482923904926301632008-12-17T13:44:00.000-06:002008-12-17T13:44:00.000-06:00Thanks for the encouraging word.

Looks like that happened on one issue at least. What else (briefly) do I need to address?Jeff Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16934932107746619375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558461285642691762.post-42240972032464442892008-12-17T11:43:00.000-06:002008-12-17T11:43:00.000-06:00Our pastor preached a series of sermons to us on E...Our pastor preached a series of sermons to us on Ecclesiastes, and much of his info was from your book. It was very enlightening and I would suggest the book to anyone.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I'm the guy who was posting on your Christmas Redux post. Just wondering if you were going to come back to that one and continue the discussion or not? <BR/><BR/>God bless,<BR/>SteveThe Goldman Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663068181782377766noreply@blogger.com
