Despite the welcome revival of scholarly interest in Biblical
Wisdom, the Book of Proverbs remains neglected. It continues to be
seen as a disorganised repository of traditional banalities, while
Job and Qohelet are viewed as more exciting texts, in revolt
against Proverbs' conventional wisdom. Contradiction in the Book of
Proverbs argues that this misleading consensus owes more to
scholarly presuppositions than to the content of Proverbs; it sees
Proverbs as a challenging work, one that aims to provoke a critical
appropriation of wisdom and in which diverse sources have been
skilfully brought together by a creative final editor to form a
complex unity. Many divergences from the Hebrew in the Greek
witness to the translator's discomfort with his spikey, provocative
original. Peter Hatton challenges many existing scholarly
assumptions and calls for a re-evaluation of the role and
significance of Proverbs in relation to the other biblical wisdom
books and the whole canon.
