| Summary | "The Expositor's Bible: The Book of Proverbs" by Robert F. Horton is an expository work written in the late 19th century. This book aims to provide a deep understanding of the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, breaking down its themes, structure, and wisdom, as well as examining the historical context and compilation of the text. Horton seeks to illustrate how the principles found in Proverbs are applicable to daily life, focusing on moral conduct and spiritual introspection. At the start of the book, Horton introduces the Proverbs as a collection primarily attributed to Solomon—though he notes that it is not solely his work but rather a compilation by various authors over time. He discusses the significance of wisdom, asserting that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge," and reveals that wisdom encompasses not only ethics but also philosophy and practicality in daily living. The opening chapters explore the historical context of the Proverbs, emphasizing the importance of early moral teachings and the influences of parental guidance on a child's character development. The author touches on various proverbs dealing with human conduct, the nature of wisdom, and the consequences of folly, setting the stage for a thorough examination of this ancient literary and spiritual treasure.
