β¦ Synopsis
"Here is solid scholarship with certain unpopular twists and interpretations. In place of a pedantic verse by verse approach, this thematic treatment of Proverbs provides a surprisingly contemporary manual on some critical issues of Christian discipleship. Miller offers very helpful pastoral insights for the 21st-century preacher." βJames M. Lapp, Franconia Mennonite Conference The 19th volume in the Believers Church Bible Commentary series is unique for its detailed uncovering of evidence for two editions of Proverbs, a first in the time of Solomon and a second in support of King Hezekiahβs historic religious reforms. In this light heretofore puzzling features of the bookβs design, purpose and message are clarified and the bookβs relevance for its time and ours is greatly enhanced. "Proverbs is a treasury of Godβs wisdom, and John Miller is a gifted guide to its proper interpretation. He has given the church a clear, interesting, and insightful commentary on this important biblical book."βTremper Longman, Westmont College
