AB 18A: Proverbs 1 - 9

A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary.
Michael
V. Fox translates and explains the meaning of the first nine chapters of this
profound, timeless book, and examines their place in the intellectual history
of ancient Israel. This thorough study of Proverbs includes a survey of the
collections of ancient Near Eastern wisdom literature, as well as innovative
and insightful comments. In addition to the translation and commentary proper,
Fox includes several extended thematic essays on Proverbs 1-9, covering such
themes as the origins of personified wisdom, what wisdom is, and where wisdom
can be heard, plus an appendix of textual notes. The format of the commentary
makes it accessible to the general reader and also provides materials of
special interest to scholars. This is the first of a two-volume commentary that
accords Proverbs the depth of study it deserves.
'This is an
excellent commentary both because the series allows more space than other
commentaries and because Fox is a master interpreter.' - Tremper A.
