Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs (New American Commentary) (Volume 14)

Great Scholarly Source. It worked great for my 20-page paper on Proverbs.

The New American Commentary series is one of the best commentaries produced today. Authors incorporate scholarship and academic excellence with language the serious Bible Study student can understand. Grammar, word meanings and their significance within the passage are discussed along with structure, themes, and relationships the passage shares with other Scriptures. In Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs, Daune Garret delves into the intricacies of Hebrew poetry and wisdom literature without becoming overly academic. Nor does he "dummy-down" the beauty of its nuances in order to make his scholarship more palpable. If you are looking for a commentary with more depth to deepen your personal study of God's Word, or if you are a teacher looking for another tool in order to prepare your lessons, I highly recommend this volume and the entire series.

Good commentary that balances practical with critical approaches with a conservative approach to Biblical exegesis. More for pastors and teachers than for those wanting a devotional approach.

Short and to the point: This book is very good -- the best part of it is the slightly unconventional perspective of viewing Proverbs (or clusters of proverbs) contextually. Very helpful. If you have one commentary on the Wisdom Books -- get this one.

Good commentary, price and shipping. Great transaction!

This was very helpful commentary! The author takes an interesting approach to Songs of Songs and does a great job explaining each verse.

Readable and concise.

Got for class work. Helped a lot.
