About Proverbs: A Mentor CommentaryThe escalating growth of our technological knowledge in the last century has been nothing short of breathtaking—but has it rendered us wiser? Or godlier? We have lost something priceless, and seem to be trying to replace it with more and more information. We need wisdom! Communications technology leaves us no rest to work things out: mostly we just react, and worry, and fail—and react again. We make business decisions, ethical decisions, and relationship decisions, against a continuously moving landscape that doesn’t allow them to be satisfying, consistent, or dependable. There is no better starting point for understanding wisdom than the book of Proverbs. Its purpose is to impart wisdom to those who want it. John Kitchen has produced a work that is authoritative, comprehensive and insightful. He examines the chronology, authorship, composition, structure and context of Proverbs and does the hard work of providing cross-references alerting the reader to rich veins running beneath the surface of Proverbs and other Biblical books. |
