AB 18B: Proverbs 10 - 31

A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary.
This
volume completes Bible scholar Michael V. FoxÉs comprehensive commentary on the
book of Proverbs. As in his previous volume on the early chapters of Proverbs,
the author here translates and explains in accessible language the meaning and
literary qualities of the sayings and poems that comprise the final chapters.
He gives special attention to comparable sayings in other wisdom books,
particularly from Egypt, and makes extensive use of medieval Hebrew
commentaries, which have received scant attention in previous Proverb
commentaries. In separate sections set in smaller type, the author addresses
technical issues of text and language for interested scholars.
The
authorÉs essays at the end of the commentary view the book of Proverbs in its
entirety and investigate its ideas of wisdom, ethics, revelation, and
knowledge. Out of ProverbsÉ great variety of sayings from different times, Fox
shows, there emerges a unified vision of life, its obligations, and its
potentials.
'This is an excellent commentary both because the series
allows more space than other commentaries and because Fox is a master
interpreter.' - Tremper A. Longman
