John Phillips wanted his commentary on Proverbs to be interesting, so he set the goal of illustrating each proverb. Illustrations are drawn from science, nature, fiction, history, his personal experience, and above all the Bible itself.

Here is the wisdom of Solomon — outlined, analyzed, illustrated, and available in an understandable and readable form. Come explore the proverbs of a king who in his day had the reputation of being the wisest man in the world. Although he lived a long time ago his proverbs are remarkably up to date!

The John Phillips Commentary Series is designed to provide pastors, Sunday school teachers, and students of the Scripture with doctrinally sound interpretation that emphasizes the practical application of Bible truth. Working from the familiar King James Version, Dr. Phillips not only provides helpful commentary on the text, but also includes detailed outlines and numerous illustrations and quotations. Anyone wanting to explore the meaning of God's Word in greater depth - for personal spiritual growth or as a resource for preaching and teaching - will welcome the guidance and insights of this respected series.
