The Theology of the Book of Proverbs as a Whole
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 January 2024
Chapter 6 focuses on a theological evaluation of the whole book, evaluating scholarly discussions of this century that have strongly impacted this discussion, such as a relatively recent interest, for example, in the ‘fear of the Lord’ as a guiding theological principle of the book and in the place of “creation” in Proverbs. This chapter looks at the key intersection of theological themes with a fresh emphasis in scholarship on character formation, on the moral and educational goals of the book and at ideas about life as a journey.
