How Can I Study and Teach Proverbs?

Get ready for a good debate!

What approach to the book of Proverbs will I most benefit from?

Last time, we looked at the journey between the ancient horizon of Proverbs to our own time. This time, we examine two different approaches to studying and teaching Proverbs, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Compare and contrast

Preaching and studying the book of Proverbs brings out the strengths and weaknesses of both the exegetical and topical approaches.

Read Proverbs 8 and then Proverbs 9. What similarities do you see between the passages? What differences?

Test Yourself

What is the key advantage to the exegetical approach?

Answer

Starting with the text rather than an agenda

Think about it:

Do you lean more towards an exegetical or topical approach to Proverbs? Why?
