Anotace knihy

This reading of Proverbs 1-9 is unique in that it complements Israelite advice by setting alongside it Chinese examples of wisdom from the Confucian Analects, highlighting their fundamental similarity and affirming Wisdom's human-derived instructions within two very different cultural worlds.

The reading uses the literary and rhetorical features of the Hebrew text to highlight the Sages' advice encouraging audiences to accept and endorse that advice, emphasizing the potential benefit that Wisdom is able to grant those who follow its path.

The phenomenon of Wisdom is not exclusive to any one community; it is universal or ecumenical and embraces all levels of counsel - that of parents teaching children, of artisans teaching practical techniques to apprentices, of 'professional' Sages giving political and personal direction to rulers. Wisdom's basic concern is for the individual and community to aspire to the highest of ideals, to find the 'paths' that lead to personal and communal well-being. Wisdom is never just an intellectual pursuit; it is intensely practical, an ideal manner of living and working within specific religious and cultural contexts. Ancient Israel and a contemporary China arrived at similar conclusions as to what constituted 'wise living', expressing their conclusions within their own social and cultural contexts and forms.
