| Proverbs, the latest addition to the NIV Application Commentary series, provides pastors and church leaders with numerous aids on how to study, reflect on, and apply this book on biblical wisdom as part of the educational ministry of their churches. Proverbs explores each passage from three perspectives: original meaning for its first audience, bridging contexts of timeless truths, and contemporary significance for our lives today. It takes more than interpretation of God's Word to change lives, it takes application. Application is the bottom line in preaching and teaching. Without it, we've missed the point of the Bible. The NIV Application Commentary is an outstanding resource for pastors and anyone else who is serious about developing 'doers of the Word.' |

| The passages of Proverbs 31, particularly verses 10 through 31, is an excellent instructive Scripture for men and women preparing for marriage and ministry. It is a queen's description of a wife fit for her son, King Lemuel. The woman she describes is strong, full of character and substance, informed, confident, well-rounded, rooted in the Word, and has a strong personal relationship with God. The Proverbs 31 Woman focuses on the characteristics and roles of this godly woman and provides insights for both men and women today. It does not teach according to the world's wisdom but by the Word of God. This queen's perspective of a godly woman reveals that God's children need royal characters in order to be fit for His royal mates |

| The New American Commentary series brings the best of contemporary evangelical scholarship that honors the full trustworthiness and authority of Scripture to the task of serious exegetical and theological exposition of the Word. Duane Garrett turns his keen exegetical skills to the Wisdom literature of the Old Testament. Modern scholarship has all but dismissed any Solomonic connection to Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Songs, and this has even been the case with some Evangelical scholars. Garrett takes a fresh look in view of new studies on the historical development of biblical Hebrew and, more importantly, in view of his own evaluation of parallels with Ancient Near Eastern wisdom literature, particularly from Egypt and Mesopotamia. He presents stimulating arguments for Solomonic authorship of Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs, as well as for Solomonic background to those portions of Proverbs ascribed to him. A discussion of the nature and development of Israelite wisdom puts his work into context. Particularly helpful is Garrett's discussion of forms and rhetorical strategies in the literature. |
