In this commentary Ernest Lucas takes a unique "cluster" approach
to the book of Proverbs, studying it thematically and showing how
it speaks to such issues as character formation, gender relations,
wealth and poverty, interpersonal communication, science and
religion, and care for the environment. After an introduction
discussing the authorship, date, structure, ancient Near Eastern
context, and literary forms of Proverbs, Lucas provides critical
exegesis of the biblical text in his section-by-section commentary.
He identifies "proverbial clusters" and uses them as the basis for
interpreting individual proverbs. Several substantial theological
essays in a concluding section illuminate major ethical, pastoral,
and spiritual themes in Proverbs. Ably unpacking the rich wisdom
embedded in the book of Proverbs, Lucas has written a succinct,
accessible theological commentary perfect for pastors, teachers,
and students.
