Who compiled the varied material in the book of Proverbs, and why?
Is there any significance in the order in which it has been
arranged? These and similar questions about the book have often
been discussed in the past, but no agreed conclusions reached. In
this study the question of the purpose behind the composition of
the book is raised anew. Whybray first discusses each section of
Proverbs separately and then enquires into the significance, if
any, of the shape of the book as a whole in its final form. Among
the chief features of this study are an analysis of redactional
layers in chapters 1-9, the comparison of different concepts of
wisdom in the book, the question of a theological development in
the course of the redactional process and an investigation of the
possibility that the numerous short proverbs in chapters 10-29 may
have been consciously arranged in meaningful groups.>
