BCOTWP: Proverbs

With Proverbs, veteran Old Testament scholar Tremper Longman offers an
accessible commentary on one of Scripture's most frequently quoted and visited
books. With his deft exegetical and expositional skill, the resulting work is
full of fresh insight into the meaning of the text. He combines a careful
reading of Proverbs with theological insights. In addition to the helpful
translation and commentary, Proverbs considers theological
implications of these wisdom texts, as well as their literary, historical, and
grammatical dimensions. Footnotes deal with many of the technical matters,
allowing readers of varying interest and training levels to read and profit
from the commentary and to engage the biblical text at an appropriate level.
This built-in versatility has application for both pastors and teachers.
'Although life in modern, Western, and largely urban contexts
becomes ever more complex and driven by technological gadgets, many Christians
continue to find guidance for daily living in the ancient biblical book of
Proverbs. The adage 'The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom' has never
been more true or more relevant. Recognizing the profoundly theological message
of Proverbs, Longman provides a thorough, up-to-date guide for readers. With
his eyes on both the ancient Near Eastern world out of which the book arose and
the broader biblical teaching, the author opens the door to a treasure house of
biblical wisdom for lay people and professional teachers alike.' - Daniel
