“Living Skillfully in the Fear of God.” A series by Dr. Matt Thornton through the book of Proverbs.
This lesson serves as an introduction to the short “rapid-fire” wise sayings of Solomon as well as the rest of the book of Proverbs. Although this lesson is more academic in nature, its need cannot be overstated. The purpose of this lesson is to help us as students understand the different styles and types of proverbs in this vast book of wisdom. Without an understanding of the different kinds of proverbs, our interpretation of them is sure to fall short of the truth. It is important for us as readers to remember that this wisdom is from God, and we need to understand how to interpret the Word of God correctly. This lesson serves as an aid for that.
From this point forward, the lessons on the series through Proverbs will largely be listed by Scripture reference only as they are often short and pithy statements that are not so connected topically as are the previous sections of the Book of Proverbs.
