Proverbs: Audio Lectures: 38 Lessons on Literary Context, Structure, Exegesis, and Interpretation

What is the good life? Proverbs: Audio Lectures, taught by Christopher Ansberry, answers this question across different collections and through different poetic forms, each of which are designed to (trans)form one's character. This project of character formation assumes that wisdom and virtue are multifaceted. They include the intellect, emotions, and an embodied form of life. This explains why Proverbs seeks to sharpen the reasoning, direct the desires, and cultivate the conduct of students in accordance with the good. Proverbs: Audio Lectures helps one to discern what is good, to love what is good, and to do what is good, all in relational dependence on God.

Designed for the pastor and Bible student, Proverbs: Audio Lectures, together with the accompanying text on Proverbs from the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament, brings to light the universal scope of God's sovereignty and mercy. With careful analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text, professor and scholar Chris Ansberry traces the flow of argument in the book of Proverbs, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say.
