by Roger Norman Whybray

Focusing on one of the most enigmatic books of the Old Testament and drawing on contemporary scholarship, this book reflects on the significance of the biblical text for today's Christian. This commentary on Proverbs considers the structure and composition of the book, and in particular stresses the cultural role of the Israelite wisdom tradition and editorial links between the different groups of short proverbs.
