One that has come out since then is Andrew Steinmann's Concordia volume on Proverbs.<br /><br />If a <i>pastor</i> were asking me three must-have's, I suppose I'd say... I'd say I can't! Because I'm tussling with the Hebrew text, it's specifics and shape (as every pastor should), I'm finding the most help in Waltke and Steinmann. But I love Kidner and Bridges, and Crenshaw is surprisingly useful given his different doctrinal wheelbase, and I use Longmann. Oh, and Michael Fox. And <a href="http://teampyro.blogspot.com/2008/02/book-review-proverbs-mentor-commentary.html" rel="nofollow">John Kitchen</a>, and Lange's, and Delitzsch, and the Pulpit Commentary...<br /><br />Oh, I look at Duane Garrett, too, but usually am disappointed.DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-91632012668296998322013-09-05T09:24:53.143-07:002013-09-05T09:24:53.143-07:00Well I can't find the star rating, but be sure...Well I can't find the star rating, but be sure to keep this series of posts up! Good insights. I just started preaching Proverbs and it's more challenging than I thought. But it is a good workout!<br /><br />Do you have a recommendation of the top commentaries for Proverbs? Certainly GWIP is a great resource and I've appreciated it in my own preparation.<br /><br />JasonJason and Jodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06751715296435848030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-67909175356917115792013-09-04T13:31:58.769-07:002013-09-04T13:31:58.769-07:00Your wonderful book and the artistry that your pos...Your wonderful book and the artistry that your post refers to make me really wish that I knew Hebrew. I think it would deepen my appreciation and understanding of the scriptures. I wonder how my pastors would respond if I suggested that they offer to teach Hebrew to anyone interested.

The chaplain and I have been concerned about the lack of reverence from the guys we are working with (even from those that seem to be on track with discipleship) and your post about the connectedness of those twin poles of awe and intimacy really struck home. I wonder if an over-emphasis on intimacy with God by the ModAmeriChurch (coupled with Gutless Grace) has contributed to a downgrade in our reverence for Him. Just wondering...<br /><br />I found a bible study by Paul Washer called The One True God which we have been using to try and and lead the men to a healthy perception of God. But the study you have done and are sharing from Proverbs has dove-tailed nicely into what's going on 'round these parts. Thank You!<br /><br /><br />(still need to get the book...oh well, next month's budget perhaps :0)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-24560339059696498722013-09-04T06:38:32.494-07:002013-09-04T06:38:32.494-07:00Oh, it's very good, and will be used for a ver...Oh, it's very good, and will be used for a very long time. It's also quite technical. Andrew Steinmann's commentary (from Concordia) is also exceptionally good. Both give great attention to the details of the text, both write as convinced Christians (Steinmann more obviously and consciously so), and both help with the structure.DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-54411351899405247942013-09-04T06:22:45.586-07:002013-09-04T06:22:45.586-07:00Dan, I've yet to have the opportunity to read ...Dan, I've yet to have the opportunity to read your Proverbs book, unfortunately. (It's on deck for this year, though!) I know that Waltke's two volume NICOT contribution is supposed to be something of a gold standard, though--what's your opinion?
