EDIT: I corrected a misspelling in the name of the book. Please download new version attached to this post below.

A PBB resource of E.W. Hengstenberg's Commentary on Ecclesiastes is now ready. You may download it below.

Ecclesiastes is part of the wisdom literature of the Old Testament. Wise are the words of Solomon, the author of this book. I have found three particular sayings in this book to be wise beyond measure: First, "Vanities of vanities, all is vanity!" -- The key to understanding Ecclesiastes in my opinion is to see that the book paints a realistic picture of what life is like under the Fall. Perhaps the best commentary on Ecclesiastes is Romans 8:20, which tells us God subjected all creation to futility in hope that the creation would be set free from bondage.

Second, "Remember your Creator." Paul makes clear in Romans 8:20ff that the Creator had a design in mind in redeeming the world from its futility. Thus, Ecclesiastes points to the redemptive work of Christ.

Finally, "Fear God and keep his commandments." The Covenant God requires fidelity from his people. Yet, God's commands are not burdensome; they are the gracious commands of a gracious God.

Hengstenberg on the Psalms, Vol. 2

Thanks to a long and relatively quiet Christmas vacation, I have completed a PBB resource of E.W. Hengstenberg's Commentary on the Psalms, Vol. 2. You can find it for downloading at the bottom of this post. Enjoy!

Volume 2 covers Psalms 35-78.

Volume 3 contains the rest of the Psalms and appendices. It's about 600 pages, so without the benefit of time off, this one will take some time to prepare.

I have completed a PBB resource of Volume 1 of E.W. Hengstenberg's Commentary on the Psalms. Volume 1 covers Psalms 1-34. You can download it below.

I have wanted to have this commentary as a Libronix resource for a while. I planned to scan the entire three volumes, but then I found Ted Hildebrandt from Gordon College had already done the grunt work and had the files available in MS Word format.

Ted's faculty web site is here: http://faculty.gordon.edu/hu/bi/Ted_Hildebrandt/
Thanks to Ted for doing this for the community.

A Libronix PBB resource of Volume IV of E.W. Hengstenberg's Christology of the Old Testament is now available for download below.

I have also cleaned up the previous three volumes by fixing bugs, making corrections and also changing all Greek and Hebrew words to a more unicode-friendly font (Greek=Gentium and Hebrew=SBL Hebrew). If you downloaded the previous versions you may want to get the newest versions.

The complete 4-volume set can be downloaded below.

Happy Thanksgiving to all,

Bill
