Proverbs – a book full of wisdom, and yet a book demanding all one’s wisdom to understand.

Derek Kidner has not only provided a running commentary on the whole of Proverbs, but has also included two helpful study aids: a set of subject guides that brings together teaching scattered throughout the book, and a short concordance that helps to locate lost sayings (in territory notoriously hard to search) and encourages further subject studies. In short, this volume is a wise person’s guide to wisdom.
