I've had this book on my shelf for a couple of years and have paid scant attention to it. But I was happy to discover that it's been a great help as I began studying Proverbs and preaching through it's themes in recent weeks. I hope this means that others in the How to Read series will be helpful as well and I look forward to digging into them. In particular, this volume handles well the unique interpretation challenges such as the question of whether or not Proverbs are always true. Another unique interpretation issue is that the book was initially written to young men. This could cause women and older men to overlook the book as largely irrelevant to them. The book gives excellent guidance for why this is not a helpful approach. I’ll be keeping this book with my other commentaries for regular reference. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.A perverse person spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.Go to the ant, you lazybones; consider its ways, and be wise.Everyday we make choices on the path of life. Proverbs are memorable capsules of wisdom, chiseled in words and polished through use by those who have traveled that path ahead of us. But the proverbs of the Bible make a greater claim than "a penny saved is a penny earned." They are woven into the web of divine revelation, rooted in the "fear of the Lord" that is the beginning of wisdom.While many proverbs speak to us directly, we can gain much greater insight by studying the book of Proverbs as a whole, understanding its relationship to ancient non-Israelite wisdom and listening to its conversation with the other great voices of wisdom in Scripture--Job and Ecclesiastes.In How to Read Proverbs Tremper Longman III provides a welcome guide to reading and studying, understanding and savoring the Proverbs for all their wisdom. Most important for Christian readers, we gain insight into how Christ is the climax and embodiment of wisdom. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
