No book of the Bible gives the Christian more practical advice than Proverbs. It covers personal problems like sex, ambition, anxiety, fear, money; family matters such as marriage, parenting, discipline and education; social questions like neighbourliness, friendship, disputes and litigation; and even politics, both from the ruler's and citizen's viewpoint. This commentary employs a revolutionary method that combines two different approaches. Firstly, the verse-by-verse approach and secondly, the thematic style.
Eric Lane shows his long investigation into the text by giving a comprehensive thematic index of topics covered, and while every verse is covered, each chapter is arranged topically, making it more reader-friendly.Eric Lane succeeds brilliantly in bringing us a study of Proverbs that can be used as a devotional aid or bible study companion.
