This addition to Sheffield's acclaimed Old Testament Guides series
introduces students not only to Proverbs but also to the genre of
'wisdom literature' in general (dealing with such questions as the
origin and location of 'wisdom' in ancient Israel). Martin
discusses the structure of the book of Proverbs as a whole,
provides a guided reading to the more or less sustained discourses
in chapters 1-9 and to the collections of proverb-type sentences in
the remaining chapters, and considers the relationship of Proverbs
to other ancient Near Eastern literature. The Guide is completed by
essays on 'The Feminine in the Book of Proverbs' and 'Wisdom and
Theology'.>
