Exegetical study of Proverbs 10:1 22:16. Proverbs are neither statements of this-worldly cause
and effect nor universally applicable doctrines of divine order. Rather a proverb's meaning
and 'truth' are conditioned by the context. The author delimits sections which the editor(s) of
the collection consciously grouped together in their present sequence. He then examines how
these literary arrangements both influence the meaning of the individual proverbs and determine
their function in context. Indexes of names passages and subjects are included.
