Summary of Proverbs

Wisdom literature is one of many kinds of writing we find in the Bible and all play different roles in shaping our minds, our hearts, our imaginations, and our actions. Know-how, as Proverbs teaches us so clearly, is for all of life: for daily decisions and long-term plans, for relationships in family and community, as well as in work and in trade.

In this six-session guide, Antony Billington’s astute questions, pertinent applications and mini-features will help you discover Proverbs’ many riches for your own challenges and contexts – Monday through Sunday. They’ll encourage growth in wisdom that is rooted in relationship with God, shaped by his ordering of the world, and that ends its ultimate expression in Christ.
