More about the book
The book presents a thorough examination of how the book of Proverbs engages with the concept of divine law, or torah, countering the longstanding belief that these theological traditions are absent. Through detailed analysis, particularly of Proverbs 2, Schipper reveals the complex interplay between wisdom and torah in a postexilic context, highlighting humanity's capacity to embody the will of YHWH as expressed in the divine torah. This revised edition reflects Schipper's ongoing research and insights into biblical scholarship.
