Can the Book of Proverbs Be a Player in “Biblical Theology”?

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Proverbs does not have a role in the game as currently played. The many theological construals of the past century, although helpful, founder on the concept of thematic unity. This paper suggests a separate track: exegesis of individual passages, which may (or may not) have intertextual associations.
