Even a cursory reading of the book of Proverbs reveals that it is
dominated by the subject of education, or personal formation. The
voice of the teacher addressing his pupils resounds from its pages.
A wide array of topics is presented, and frequent exhortations
challenge the learner to hear and heed the teacher's instruction.
This material, however, comes for the most part without
recognizable order or sequence. Much of Proverbs consists of
apparently random collections of maxims. As readers, we see many
individual pieces, but the puzzle as a whole remains unclear. In
this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Daniel J. Estes
synthesizes the teachings of the first nine chapters of Proverbs
into a systematic statement of the theory of education and personal
formation that lies behind the text. Working from the Hebrew text
and building upon an extensive analysis of exegetical works, Estes
organizes his study of Proverbs 1-9 into seven categories typical
of pedagogical discussion: worldview, values for education, goals
for education, curriculum for education, the process of
instruction, the role of the teacher and the role of the learner.
His work agrees with but also transcends the original purpose of
the text by revealing the foundational theory of intellectual and
moral formation embedded in this important section of Scripure. It
also has valuable things to say about constructing a bibilically
informed philosophy of education today. Addressing key issues in
biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical
Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand
their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to
simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current
scholarship and to point the way ahead.
