<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>In this replacement Tyndale Commentary on the book of Proverbs, Lindsay Wilson shows how the first nine chapters provide a reading guide for the many proverbs in subsequent chapters; and how the fear of the Lord, choosing wisdom not folly, and having our characters formed by wisdom are crucial for understanding Proverbs as Christian Scripture and living out our faith in daily life.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In many ways, Proverbs is similar to the wisdom literature of the wider ancient Near East. However, while the book initially appears to consist primarily of practical advice, wisdom is grounded in a relationship with God. In this replacement Tyndale Commentary, Lindsay Wilson shows how the first nine chapters provide a reading guide for the many proverbs in subsequent chapters; and how the fear of the Lord, choosing wisdom not folly, and having our characters formed by wisdom are crucial for understanding Proverbs as Christian Scripture and living out our faith in daily life. The Tyndale Commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The <em>Introduction</em> to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting, and purpose. Following a structural <em>Analysis</em>, the <em>Commentary</em> takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. <em>Additional Notes</em> provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. In the new Old Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: <em>Context</em>, <em>Comment</em>, and <em>Meaning</em>. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Wilson's edifying and well-written commentary expounds the text of Proverbs with care and good judgment. His fine contribution will no doubt provide a basis for ongoing discussion and benefit the church for years to come.</p>--Mark A. Hassler, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, 61.4<br>
