Our Wednesday night Bible study worked through this book — it is so well written and filled with clever alliteration and many examples of worldly “words to wise” that made for delightful reading. The Ten Commandments are used as an “outline” for studying a variety of verses throughout the book of Proverbs, and Luther’s explanation of the commandments rounds out each chapter with reminders of how our lives are to glorify God and serve our neighbors. It’s an approachable study of how God’s wisdom can and should impact our daily lives, using plenty of proof texts from the old and new testaments to flesh out, support, and explain the wisdom of the book of Proverbs.

This Bible study categorizes the Book of Proverbs according to the Ten Commandments. It stimulated a lot of good conversation. Lots of wit and humor, too.

Great way to simultaneously go in-depth with the ten commandments and become more familiar with the book of Proverbs.
