Product Highlights
Proverbs: A Biblical Commentary in the Wesleyan Tradition is part of a commentary series that interprets the books of the Bible from a Wesleyan perspective. While is is designed primarily with lay people in mind-Sunday school teachers, Bible study leaders, students of the Word-pastors will also find it most helpful. Following the New International Version, each book of the Bible is explained paragraph by paragraph, illuminating the key concepts of each passage and how they relate to our life and times today. This series offers insight into the Scripture that brings greater understanding of what the Bible says, its significance for our lives today, and further transformation into the images of Christ. The primary purpose for the book of Proverbs is to help people become wise through fearing the Lord. This fear is a reverence for God that determines how we live. And this reverence for God should occur because of our relationship with Him. The phrase, 'the fear of the Lord,' occurs more times in Proverbs than anywhere else in the Old Testament. Through its major parts, through its sections and subsections and through its various authors, Proverbs carries this common theme. We can learn a great deal about human nature from Proverbs. But the observations we read are not intended to provide information alone. They are intended to produce a wise response. Much of Proverbs promises retribution; but the book also reminds us that things are not as simple as they appear, and that life is full of mysteries. Author Stephen J. Lennox, from his knowledge of and experience with the Scriptures, presents to us the helpful principles for living found in Proverbs. He shows us that God wants us to meet Him in these pages. How can we learn about God? By understanding how He designed this world to operate-both in nature and human interaction-we learn something about the Designer. As we understand God, we find an unchanging moral compass to guide us. About the Author He has written two commentaries in the Wesley Press series (Proverbs and Psalms), an introduction to the Old Testament (God With Us), and is an associate editor at Religious and Theological Abstracts. He has been married to Eileen McDonald Lennox since 1982 and they have two children, Abigail and Ethan. He loves to read and has traveled widely to all 50 states and several countries on four continents.
