Commentary on Proverbs

Order this book

George Lawson’s Commentary on Proverbs is a classic work that transcends its time and remains deeply relevant for believers today. Written with a theologically sharp mind and a pastoral heart, this commentary not only unpacks the rich content of the Book of Proverbs, but also powerfully applies it to the reader’s heart, helping them live in the light of divine wisdom.

Lawson understands that the proverbs are not simply popular sayings or isolated practical tips, but part of a biblical system of wisdom that reflects the character of God and His will for the lives of His children. In a world where human opinion is often exalted above the Word of God, this commentary arrives as a powerful reminder that true wisdom comes from Above and can only be received through the fear of the Lord.

Beyond academic exegesis, Lawson offers a godly and applicable exposition, ideal for both personal study and group settings. Each reflection is filled with devotion, instruction, and an evangelistic call. The author not only helps the reader understand the biblical text, but also invites them to examine themselves and respond in obedience to what God reveals.

One special strength of this work is its focus on Christian family life. For Lawson, the proverbs have much to say about how to raise children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord, and how parents must exemplify that wisdom in their own lives. This makes the book especially useful for those leading family worship or seeking to build a home founded on the Word of God.

Furthermore, though written primarily for Christians, the commentary contains a strong call to unbelievers, inviting them to abandon the path of foolishness and find in Christ—the Incarnate Wisdom—the only sure way to eternal life.

Commentary on Proverbs is a work that unites the intellectual with the devotional, the doctrinal with the practical, and the pastoral with the evangelistic. It is highly recommended reading for pastors, teachers, parents, and any believer who desires to learn how to walk daily in the path of biblical wisdom.
