Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon# (Layman's Bible Book Commentary, 9)

Rating:
Summary: The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs is more current.
Review: This is a well-written, easy-to-understand concise commentary written in 1982 according to its copyright page. Most quotations are from the Revised Standard Version which is a 1952 translation. For a more current and more in-depth commentary on Proverbs read THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones (1999). Six translations including the New Revised Standard Version (1990) are presented in parallel to aid understanding. The comments are interesting and readable and include many historical drawings and photos to give you a sense of the culture of the time.
