Written by eminent Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke this two-volume commentary is unquestionably the most comprehensive work on Proverbs available.Grounded in the new literary criticism that has so strengthened biblical interpretation of late Waltke's commentary on Proverbs demonstrates the profound ongoing relevance of this Old Testament book for Christian faith and life. A thorough introduction addresses such issues as text and versions structure authorship and theology. The detailed commentary itself explains and elucidates Proverbs as theological literature. Waltke's highly readable style -- evident even in his original translation of the Hebrew text -- makes his scholarly work accessible to teachers pastors Bible students and general readers alike.
