Warning Against Adultery (Part 2 of 2)

Wise Words

Commenting on Proverbs, Old Testament scholar Derek Kidner writes that the book “performs the function of putting godliness into working clothes.” It calls to us in the streets about real-world matters, addressing the pressing issues of our daily lives.
