Bruce K. Waltke is professor emeritus of biblical studies at
Regent College, Vancouver, and distinguished professor emeritus of
Old Testament at Knox Theological Seminary, Fort Lauderdale. He was
a translator of the New American Standard Version Bible and is also
a member of the committee responsible for the New International
Version.
Ivan D. V. De Silva is instructor in religious studies at Trinity Western University and adjunct faculty at Pacific Life Bible College. In addition to carrying a full teaching load, Ivan is a full-time detective in the Vancouver Police Department, where he has worked for the past twenty-five years.
"Waltke and De Silva's shorter commentary on Proverbs is simply a
masterpiece. They skillfully impart rich theology for godly living
based on Scriptural wisdom. Written with the integration of lucid
instruction and keen scholarship, the reader encounters penetrating
and delightful commentary characterized by both depth and
simplicity. Pastors, Sunday school teachers, biblical students, and
Christian parents should have this book in their arsenal to pursue
and to communicate authentic biblical wisdom."
-- Peter A. Lillback
president of Westminster Theological Seminary
"With the help of his former student Ivan De Silva's experience as
a detective, Waltke has refined his masterly two-volume work of
2004 to create a precious, perceptive Christian commentary for
serious students of Proverbs. Waltke's later thoughts, using
studies by some others, bring it up to date, making these ancient
words wholly relevant for today."
-- Alan Millard
University of Liverpool "At last, the updated and abridged version
of Bruce Waltke's magisterial two-volume commentary is here. In
this single volume the reader will find a learned and distinctly
Christian treatment of the book of Proverbs. Technically
exceptional while accessible to the non-expert, it will be an
excellent resource for the classroom and for home study."
-- Sandra Richter
Westmont College "Waltke and De Silva's abridged and updated
version of Waltke's 2004 commentary on Proverbs, which is designed
to make the original more accessible to students and pastors (among
others), will be widely welcomed. It is especially useful in its
consideration of the wider context within which each unit of text
is located and in its inclusion of a subject index that relates the
various proverbs to larger topics. I commend this work most warmly
to a new generation of readers."
