The social and intellectual context of the material in the book of
Proverbs has given rise to several proposals concerning the nature
of the constituent compendia within the document as well as the
function of the discourse as a whole. In light of the problems
inherent in an investigation of the nature and function of
Proverbs, the present study focuses on the social dimensions of the
document within its distinct, literary context. That is, the study
attempts to examine the nature and function of the sapiential
material within its new performance context, viz., the discursive
context, the Sitz im Buch. This form of analysis moves beyond the
investigation of individual aphorisms to provide a concrete context
through which to view the various components of the discourse as
well as the discourse as a whole. In the main, the study explores
the formal, discursive, and thematic features of the constituent
collections within the book of Proverbs in order to identify the
nature and function of the work. More specifically, the study
highlights the fundamental features of the book's discourse
setting, the thematic development of the material, the ethos of the
individual collections and their role within Proverbs in order to
ascertain the degree to which the document may be considered a
courtly piece.
