The Book of Proverbs, in Bridgesâ view, âis not generally estimated at its just valueâ. The author of The Christian Ministry does not favour a purely technical study of the text, but gives a homiletical and practical treatment. âThe best work on the Proverbsâ, was C.H. Spurgeonâs verdict on this commentary. âWhilst explaining the passage in hand, he sets other portions of the word in new lightsâ.
Charles Bridges (1794-1869) was one of the leaders of Evangelical party in the Church of England in the last century. He was the vicar of Old Newton, Suffolk, from 1823 to 1849, and later of Weymouth and Hinton Martell in Dorset. Although The Christian Ministry is Bridgesâ bestknown literary work, his expositions which included Ecclesiastes and Psalm 119 as well as Proverbs, are highly valued.
