Summary: An Outstanding Commentary on Proverbs
Review: Clifford's commentary on Proverbs is simply excellent. He provides his own personal translation as his starting point and explores the original meanings of various sayings as understood by their original authors. He points out the influence Proverbs had on the New Testament book of John and reviews the influence ancient Egypt had on Proverbs.
