Proverbs: A Commentary in the Wesleyan Tradition (New Beacon Bible Commentary) [NBBC]

An anthology comprised of six sections of collected wisdom sayings, with authorship attributed to King Solomon and other anonymous sages and, at times, containing sayings that seem better connected thematically to those in other sections, the book of Proverbs is perhaps one of the most challenging books of Scripture to read and understand.

Distinguished professor and author, John E. Hartley's contribution to the New Beacon Commentary series, Proverns: A Commentary in the Wesleyan Tradition, provides excellent guidance to help readers mine the riches of this valuable biblical book. Helpful overviews containing important topics and themes introduce major sections, while headings assist in identifying the topics of individual sayings. These features combined with the scholarly expertise that the author brings to the text make this commentary an essential resource for any library. Through this expert guidance, each proverb can fulfill its intention of being a word of wisdom for contemplation and reflection.
