Dave Bland teaches homiletics (preaching) at Harding Graduate School. I've heard him lecture and teach on the Proverbs in three different settings (a college seminar, a graduate school class, and a Bible class for adults and teens). I was pleased when his commentary was finally published. Dave treats individual proverbs in the larger context of their theological meaning and function. Even though a verse may not mention God, God is certainly behind the text. Men schooled in the biblical text, godly living and human life encapsulated complex thoughts in simple form for people to study, meditate on and memorize, and eventually form their lives. Proverbs has a strong community base to it, something Bland emphasizes. Wise people are not necessarily those who study a lot in isolation from the rest of humanity: wise people are those who study biblical principles of relationship and live well with their spouses, children, parents, bosses, neighbors, etc. Bland points out how various proverbs function in these various relationships. This is a very good commentary (and it includes Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs as well). Bland's commentary works well with the larger two vol. set of Waltke.

Dave Bland is an excellent man first of all. I had him in a Doctorate Level class on Wisdom Literature. His understanding of these books is one of the deepest that I have ever experienced. He does a great job of putting the wisdom literature into context within a theological framework. The book is readable, helpful, and educational. A great commentary by a great man.
