This study guide introduces students to the Book of Proverbs from
the Old Testament. Zoltán Schwáb examines the book's structure
and characteristics; covers the latest Biblical scholarship,
including historical and interpretive issues; and considers a range
of scholarly approaches from historical-critical through feminist
to theological. The guide encourages existential engagement with
Proverbs, and uses diverse tools in order to achieve this. A brief
chapter by chapter commentary on Proverbs will highlight the major
themes of each of its sections. The playful ambiguity and poetry of
the proverbs is also discussed. A special emphasis will be placed
on how different historical, literary, or performance contexts can
influence a proverb’s meaning. Finally, the guide presents an
overview of the rich heritage of African interpretation of
proverbs. With suggestions of further reading at the end of each
chapter, this guide will be an essential accompaniment to the study
of the Book of Proverbs.
