In this book, Arthur Keefer offers a new interpretation of the book
of Proverbs from the standpoint of virtue ethics. Using an
innovative method that bridges philosophy and biblical studies, he
argues that much of the instruction within Proverbs meets the
criteria for moral and theological virtue as set out in Aristotle's
Nicomachean Ethics and the works of St. Thomas Aquinas. Keefer
presents the moral thought of Proverbs in its social, historical,
and theological contexts. He shows how these contexts shed light on
the conceptualization of virtue, the virtues that are promoted and
omitted, and the characteristics that make Proverbs a distinctive
moral tradition. In giving undivided attention to biblical virtue,
this volume opens the way for new avenues of study in biblical
ethics, including law, narrative, and other aspects of biblical
instruction and wisdom.
