Over twenty-five years in the making, this much-anticipated commentary promises to be the standard of Proverbs for years to come. These two volumes by eminent Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke are unquestionably the most comprehensive work on Proverbs available. Grounded in the new literary criticism that has so strengthened biblical interpretation of late, Waltke's commentary explains and elucidates Proverbs as "theological literature" and demonstrates the profound, ongoing relevance of this Old Testament book for Christian faith and life. Waltke's highly readable style--evident even in his original translation of the Hebrew text--makes his scholarly work accessible to teachers, pastors, Bible students, and general readers alike.
