Instruction and Imagery in Proverbs 1-9

by Stuart Weeks

Cover of Instruction and Imagery in Proverbs 1-9

This is a detailed examination of Proverbs 1-9, an early Jewish poetic work and an example of Wisdom literature. The author shows that certain parts of it, profoundly influential on the development of both Judaism and Christianity, belong to a much broader and more intricate set of ideas than older scholarship allowed.
