Charles Bridges (1794–1869) was a famous English Christian author. He lived at a time when evangelical theologians were most concerned with piety, so his interpretation of the Book of Proverbs should be considered as a contribution to the doctrine of piety. The author sees in the Book of Proverbs a guide for wise behavior in all human relationships. He shows the reader that “holiness is happiness. Only it deserves to be called happiness - the only, undoubted and constant source of pleasure." "I strongly recommend this book." J. I. Packer, from the preface to “The Interpretation of the Book of Proverbs of Solomon” “The best work on the Book of Proverbs. The author uses the biblical method of interpretation, so his comments will suggest preachers many topics for sermons. While he explains one passage, he also sheds light on other passages of Scripture.”
