In this replacement Tyndale Commentary on the book of Proverbs, Lindsay Wilson shows how the first nine chapters provide a reading guide for the many proverbs in subsequent chapters; and how the fear of the Lord, choosing wisdom not folly, and having our characters formed by wisdom are crucial for understanding Proverbs as Christian Scripture and living out our faith in daily life.

Lindsay Wilson is academic dean and senior lecturer in Old Testament at Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of Job (THOTC) and coeditor of Interpreting Old Testament Wisdom Literature.
