In this volume, Katharine Dell offers a guide to the nature and
character of the Book of Proverbs. She explores its key messages
and major theological themes, notably God as creator and Wisdom as
mediator, standing at the center of a profound theological
relationship between God and humanity. Dell provides an overview of
scholarly evaluations of these writings, which explore its literary
forms, subdivisions, content, purpose, and social contexts.
Summarizing important modern debates, she also examines the
intertextual and canonical relationship of Proverbs to other
biblical books, the afterlife of Proverbs in wisdom material from
the Apocrypha, Qumran, and the New Testament, and the place of
Proverbs in the history of interpretation. Her book will help
readers to understand the nature and character of the book of
Proverbs. It also enables them to assess its key messages and to
see its wider context within the canon of scripture and its
relevance within the history of interpretation.
