Exalting Jesus in Proverbs

Christ-Centered Exposition

by Jonathan Akin, David Platt (Editor), Daniel L. Akin (Editor)

Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a Christ- centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible.

Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books. Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition.

Projected contributors to the series include notable authors such as Russell D. Moore, Al Mohler, Matt Chandler, Francis Chan, Mark Dever, and others.

Genres: Christian, Discipleship, Christianity, Theology, Old Testament

Wow, what an awesome book! It is packed full of wisdom, it’s a great guide for life. It doesn’t replace the Bible but certainly valuable.

[Robbie Wood]

The commentary was pretty good. It used some helpful categories. Gave great application to the Proverbs.

[Rod Innis]

This a very good commentary in many ways but it does have a few things that, personally, I did not like. It was incomplete. Perhaps it was never intended to be comprehensive but I wished that it was somewhat more complete. It also was not in order even when it could have been.

Those were a few of the negative things about it but overall it was a great commentary. It related the wisdom of Proverbs with the wisdom of Jesus. We are told in this book and in the New Testament to seek wisdom. Jesus is the source of wisdom so if we wish to be wise, we need to spend more time with HIm.

Such a great commentary

This was such a great commentary to read! The Christ-centered exposition was not done in a shoddy way. It was reasoned, biblical, and applicable to life. Wisdom is not a concept, it is a person and His name is Jesus Christ, and it is in relationship with Him that we walk in the wisdom of proverbs! Awesome

I read through this devotionally. I was encouraged and challenged at times through different chapters. One of the things I loved about this book was how it structures and organizes the book, especially later chapters on specific topics addressed in Proverbs. I hope to preach through Proverbs one day after this meditative reading through it.

[Jeff Bridgforth]

I did not finish the whole book. But what I did read, I really enjoyed. We were going through Proverbs at church so it was good to read the commentary to supplement.

[Mary Friggle]

Very well written. Practical advice while also helping the reader understand the Bible on a deeper level.

[Noah Stump]

Written in a way that is easy to understand for any level and does a perfect job at deep diving into Proverbs.
