Review :
"This commentary is conservative in the best sense of the word. Gladson pays close attention to grammar and syntax, poetic art, and theological nuance. His judgments are both judicious and fair, his treatment of those who hold Views different from his own, generous." - James L. Crenshaw, Robert L. Flowers Emeritus Professor of Old Testament, Duke University. "The very thoroughness of Dr. Gladson's commentary will establish him as one of the finest expositors on wisdom literature in the field today. His background of over forty years of university and divinity school teaching as well as his pastoral experience, often concurrent with his teaching, reveals his concern that his readers need to appreciate serious study. "-Dr. Edwin Zackrison, Theology and Ministry, Ringgold, GA.
