Download or read book Proverbs written by Ernest Lucas and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this commentary Ernest Lucas takes a unique cluster approach to the book of Proverbs, studying it thematically and showing how it speaks to such issues as character formation, gender relations, wealth and poverty, interpersonal communication, science and religion, and care for the environment. After an introduction discussing the authorship, date, structure, ancient Near Eastern context, and literary forms of Proverbs, Lucas provides critical exegesis of the biblical text in his section-by-section commentary. He identifies proverbial clusters and uses them as the basis for interpreting individual proverbs. Several substantial theological essays in a concluding section illuminate major ethical, pastoral, and spiritual themes in Proverbs. Ably unpacking the rich wisdom embedded in the book of Proverbs, Lucas has written a succinct, accessible theological commentary perfect for pastors, teachers, and students.

Download or read book The Book of Proverbs and Virtue Ethics written by Arthur Jan Keefer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Arthur Keefer offers a new interpretation of the book of Proverbs from the standpoint of virtue ethics. Using an innovative method that bridges philosophy and biblical studies, he argues that much of the instruction within Proverbs meets the criteria for moral and theological virtue as set out in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and the works of St. Thomas Aquinas. Keefer presents the moral thought of Proverbs in its social, historical, and theological contexts. He shows how these contexts shed light on the conceptualization of virtue, the virtues that are promoted and omitted, and the characteristics that make Proverbs a distinctive moral tradition. In giving undivided attention to biblical virtue, this volume opens the way for new avenues of study in biblical ethics, including law, narrative, and other aspects of biblical instruction and wisdom.

Download or read book On the Whole Bible written by Matthew Henry and published by . This book was released on 1995-07 with total page 1032 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born the son of a clergyman on October 18, 1662, Matthew Henry was ordained into the British Presbyterian Church where he held the pastorate in Chester from 1687 to 1712. He was widowed, married again and had 10 children, three whom died in infancy. Henry died in 1714. Henry began work on his commentary as "Notes On The New Testament" in 1704 and the monumental work was completed shortly before his death in 1714. Remembered as a caring pastor, a passionate lover of the Word of God, and a man of great personal integrity, Matthew Henry has left his mark on the hearts of countless Christians who seek a deeper understanding of the riches that Scripture contains. This edition of Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible uses the King James text and is abridged from the original six volumes while faithfully retaining all of the vibrant themes of that classic work. Everything here is in Matthew Henry's own words and nothing relevant to today's reader has been omitted.

Download or read book Poetic Imagination in Proverbs written by Knut Martin Heim and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2013-04-24 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No fewer than 223 verses in Proverbs appear two times (79 sets), three times (15 sets), or even four times (5 sets) in identical or slightly altered form—more than 24% of the book. Heim analyzes all of these, presenting them in delineated Hebrew lines and in English translation. Where appropriate, the translations are followed by textual notes that discuss uncertainties regarding the textual witnesses (textual criticism) and explore lexical, grammatical, and syntactical problems. Heim also analyzes the way the parallelism in each verse of a variant set has been constructed, presenting diagrams and tables with columns that highlight the corresponding similarities and differences among repeated verses. Key to this investigation is the search for links between the variants and their surrounding verses, such as repetitions of sound and sense. Heim shows that most variant repetitions result from skillful poetic creativity. Reconstruction of the editorial and creative poetic process highlights what poets did, how they did it, and why they did it. He develops criteria for determining the direction of borrowing between the verses and demonstrates that the phenomenon of variant repetition is an editorial concern that operates on the level of the book as a whole. He develops and refines a range of interpretive techniques and skills, arrives at fresh interpretations, and shows that ancient proverbial wisdom is relevant to modern societies. This study sheds new light on the nature of biblical poetry and on the methods and virtues best suited for its study. While specific to the book of Proverbs in the first instance, the findings in this study apply to poetry elsewhere. Three fundamental insights should inform future work on poetry: the creative combination of repetition with variation is the very essence of poetry; what has been written with imagination should be read with imagination; imaginative interpretation values the normal features of poetic expression and celebrates the truly unusual.

Download or read book Proverbs Ii written by Kevin L. Pollock and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proverbs II is a collection of poems and writings that will reinforce your faith in God. Thirty-one chapters on various themes can be read in any order. Numerous writers team up to share insights on the Bible and how to defeat Satan. In “Sermon about Love,” author Kevin L. Pollock writes, “If we know God, we should know love. We express to others what love is because of experiences that have felt so good in our lives. But is that love? Only a single grain of sand among all the sand on the bottom of the oceans of the world symbolizes what our love is in comparison to the love that God is and has for us.” In “Sermon about My Feet,” he writes, “Truth and right decisions coincide with one another, which leads us to one of the hottest topics there is today: anything concerning the truth. Everyone wants to know the truth, but no one wants to be truthful. The Bible tells us that the truth will set us free. Be true to yourself; more importantly, be true to God because He knows everything anyway.” After buying this book, you’ll also be eligible to download eleven original songs and poems by WHOOPE Entertainment of the Arts & Krossing Over.

Download or read book The Coherence of the Collections in the Book of Proverbs written by Seenam Kim and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-08-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Proverbs is a large collection made up of diverse wisdom sayings emanating from different wisdom circles in different times. The author investigates the vocabulary of the book in order to interpret the distinctive wisdom characteristics of the seven collections of Proverbs. He argues that exclusive words of a collection will best reveal the peculiar nature of the collection, and that the collections which exclusively share common wisdom words are inevitably coherent in terms of wisdom traditions. This book provides a new understanding of Proverbs, especially with regard to the relationship between collections I (chs. 1-9) and VII (ch. 31), collections II (10:1-22:16) and V (chs. 25-29), and collections VI (ch. 30) and VII (ch. 31). In addition to the investigation of more than three hundred words, this volume contains the lists of exclusive words of the seven collections and thirty-four tables of words related to wisdom. Kim's work will prove a useful resource to those who want to study Proverbs.

Download or read book The Hermeneutics of Torah written by Bernd U. Schipper and published by SBL Press. This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised and extended English edition of Bernd U. Schipper's 2012 German study of Proverbs incorporates the results of his continued research and writings on Proverbs. For nearly a century, many biblical scholars have argued that the main theological traditions, such as the divine law, God's torah, do not appear in the book of Proverbs. In this volume, however, Schipper demonstrates that Proverbs interacts in a sophisticated way with the concept of the torah. A detailed analysis of Proverbs 2 and other passages from the first part of the book of Proverbs shows that Proverbs engages in a postexilic discourse around "wisdom and torah" concerning the abilities of humans to fulfill the will of YHWH exemplified in the divine torah.
