Over twenty-five years in the making, this anticipated commentary promises to be the standard study of Proverbs for years to come. Written by Bruce K. Waltke, one of the worldbs leading biblical scholars, this new volume in the NICOT series is the most comprehensive work on the Proverbs available today.
Grounded in the new literary criticism that has so strengthened recent biblical interpretation, Waltkebs commentary demonstrates the profound and ongoing relevance of this Old Testament Scripture for Christian thought and life. The book is divided into two major parts, including a thorough introduction that addresses such issues as authorship, date, structure, and the theology of Proverbs, and the commentary itself, which explains Proverbs as btheological literature.b Waltkebs highly readable style -- evident even in his impeccable translation of the Hebrew text -- makes his work eminently accessible to teachers, pastors, Bible students, and general readers alike.
