 Brief, but good July 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a brief commentary, but I think it is a good supplement to a more thorough work. The brevity of it is succinct, to the point. I find this of value because in my work if there are too many thorough works I have to wade through, I might be apt to not use it so much.
I really like the introductory material.
 Review of set, not specific volume September 6, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Let me start by saying that I have owned the full 12-volume set for about a year and use it quite frequently as a resource. To be fair, I have yet to use this particular volume. However, as there seem to be no competent reviews on the set as a whole, I did want to add my impressions of this terrific resource.
I can say that I'm very satisfied with my purchase of the 12 volumes in this set. Every portion has been quite helpful, and this is an amazingly simple and inexpensive way to assemble a good library of commentaries on the entire Bible. Obviously the commentaries are not as thorough as one may find in other series, such as the excellent (although not yet quite complete) "New International Commentary on the New Testament" or a similar series. However, for most Christians who teach or lead small groups in their churches, this set can serve as a great resource to get started with, and one that can easily be supplimented with specific volumes that treat a book of the Bible in greater depth as those books are needed. Additionally, this resource can be more useful than a larger volume in situations where one is interested in looking at a few chapters of scripture at a time, or where one just needs to understand what a verse or two might mean. Thanks to the very clear and practical verse by verse organization, it's a terrific tool to do just that.
Also, I will add that (at the time of this writing) it should be possible to buy the entire set for around $150 or less, so I would suggest shopping a bit if you plan to purchase all 12 volumes.
Strongly recommended.

This commentary is a must for any Biblical Theologian! Insightful and easy to understand!!!
The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs is more current. January 7, 2000
Overall Vol 5 - Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes & Songs of Songs is an excellent, authoratative and in-depth commentary written in 1991. The text quoted is the New International Version which was translated in 1984. A lot of progress has been made in Biblical archaelogy and scholarship in the last 16 years since the NIV and in the last 9 years since this commentary was compiled. For an in-depth and more current commentary on Proverbs get THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones (1999). It includes 6 translations of Proverbs in parallel including more recent versions: New Living Translation (1996), New Century (1991) and New Revised Standard (1990). There are many historical drawings and photos to give you a sense of the culture of the time. Also many of the mysteries and riddles of Proverbs are explored with surprising new answers.
