This study guide introduces students to the Book of Proverbs from
the Old Testament. Zoltán Schwáb examines the book's structure
and characteristics; covers the latest Biblical scholarship,
including historical and interpretive issues; and considers a range
of scholarly approaches from historical-critical through feminist
to theological. The guide encourages existential engagement with
Proverbs, and uses diverse tools in order to achieve this. A brief
chapter by chapter commentary on Proverbs will highlight the major
themes of each of its sections. The playful ambiguity and poetry of
the proverbs is also discussed. A special emphasis will be placed
on how different historical, literary, or performance contexts can
influence a proverb’s meaning. Finally, the guide presents an
overview of the rich heritage of African interpretation of
proverbs. With suggestions of further reading at the end of each
chapter, this guide will be an essential accompaniment to the study
of the Book of Proverbs.

Does the Bible condone warfare and slavery?
Isn't the New Testament's teaching on sex outdated?
Surely there's not a literal heaven and hell?
These are just some of the questions that popular Bible teacher Andrew
Ollerton asks as he helps us navigate the most challenging topics in
the Bible.
God's Book follows the biblical plotline from Genesis to Revelation and
reveals how to make sense of difficult passages by considering them in
their original setting. When we understand the creation story in its
ancient context, we won't need to choose between science or the Bible.
When we appreciate that the conquest of Canaan was a unique moment in
history, these passages won't justify violence today.
The Bible's 7 toughest topics
- Science versus Creation
- Slavery and Old Testament laws
- Warfare and violence
- Suffering
- Miracles and exorcisms
- Sex
- Heaven, hell and judgement
Andrew concludes each chapter with a letter to a young adult, giving
practical advice on each topic. God's Book is for anyone who is
spiritually curious and wants to make sense of the Bible, and for
Christians who want to share their faith more confidently in today's
culture.
