The Book of Proverbs' frequent use of binary oppositions -
righteous and wicked, wise and foolish - has led many to assume
that its vision of the moral world is relatively simplistic. This
study demonstrates that Proverbs in fact presents a remarkably
sophisticated response to ethical questions of profound concern to
the Israelite sages who crafted the book: what motivates human
beings? How do they learn? How does the power of desire shape human
characters? Anne W. Stewart analyzes Proverbs' multifaceted
collection of images and metaphors to reveal their complex
understanding of the development of the moral self, which suggests
that character formation requires educating all of the senses and
not simply the cognitive faculties. One of few works to make
explicit connections between the poetic form of Proverbs and its
pedagogical function, Poetic Ethics in Proverbs will appeal to all
those interested in literary approaches to the Bible.
