The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs is better........2000-01-05

This booklet on Proverbs combines the complete text of the New International Version, the study notes from the Life Application Bible and 13 fill-in-the-blank study lessons. The NIV was translated in 1984 and the Life Application Notes were written in 1986. A lot of progress has been made in Bible archaeology and scholarship in the last 13 years. For a more current and more in-depth commentary on Proverbs read THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones (1999). The comments are interesting and very readable and put things into a historical setting. It features 6 translations in parallel including several more recent versions: New Living Translation (1996), New Revised Standard (1990) and New Century (1991). Numerous historical drawings and photos give you a sense of the culture of the time. Also many of the mysteries and riddles are explored.

Book Description

Dealing primarily with Proverbs 10-31, Westermann demonstrates how the wisdom literature evolved into a form of poetry that had greater universal appeal as the people of Israel became more urbanized. He also uses other wisdom sayings, particularly those from ancient Africa, to illustrate the logical progression of wisdom poetry from being simply observational in character to becoming more universal in character.

Customer Reviews:

Good Scholar on Proverbs.......2002-12-22

Westermann is a top German scholar. His works on Genesis are classic. Cody Jones' work on Proverbs is a joke compared to this scholar who has invested his life in understanding the original texts.

The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs is better!.......2000-01-02

Roots of Wisdom (178 pages) is mostly about Proverbs. It was written in German in 1990 and translated into English for this reprint in Dec 1994. Westermann's commentary is interesting and generally accurate. There are no photos, drawings, glossary or index. For a more current (1999) and more in-depth commentary (568 pages) read THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones (1999). The comments are interesting and more reader friendly and are accompanied by numerous drawings and photos to give you a sense of the culture of the time. There is an index and glossary as well as 6 translations in parallel to aid understanding.
