Main Themes
A FEW OF THE MAIN THEMES IN THE BOOK OF PROVERBS ARE THE WAY OF WISDOM, THE WAY OF FOLLY, COUNSEL AND INSTRUCTION, THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN, AND DILIGENCE. THIS IS NOT AN ALL INCLUSIVE LIST! THERE IS A WIDE VARIETY OF TOPICS COVERED IN PROVERBS. IT ISN'T SIMPLY A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR LIFE EITHER. PROVERBS DESCRIBES A LIFESTYLE OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THAT GROWS OUT OF A SINCERE LOVE AND REVERENCE FOR GOD AND A DESIRE TO FOLLOW IN HIS WAY.

Who wrote it
THE AUTHORSHIP OF PROVERBS IS ATTRIBUTED SOLOMON. NOTATION OF HIS AUTHORSHIP APPEARS AT THE BEGINNING OF THREE SPECIFIC CHAPTERS OF PROVERBS (3, 10, 25). CHAPTERS 1-24 MAY HAVE BEEN WRITTEN DURING SOLOMON’S REIGN AS KING OF ISRAEL (971-931 BC). CHAPTERS 25-29 ARE SOLOMON’S PROVERBS COLLECTED BY KING HEZEKIAH. SEVERAL UNNAMED WISE MEN WROTE THE COLLECTION OF PROVERBS FROM 22:17-24:22. THE FINAL TWO CHAPTERS ARE WRITTEN BY AGUR (30) AND LEMUEL (31), ALTHOUGH, THESE WRITERS ARE UNKNOWN OUTSIDE THE BOOK OF PROVERBS.
Historical Background
DURING SOLOMON’S REIGN, ISRAEL EXPERIENCED HISTORICALLY UNSEEN NATIONAL PROSPERITY IN THE AREAS OF TERRITORY ACQUISITION, PEACE, AND TRADE. SOLOMON WOULD HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TRADITION OF WRITING WISE SAYINGS, BUT UNDER THE INSPIRATION OF GOD, HE TOOK THE BOOK OF PROVERBS BEYOND ANY WORLDLY MAXIM! MANY OF SOLOMON’S PROVERBS ARE ADDRESSED TO A SON, BUT MOST ARE APPLICABLE TO ALL PEOPLE.
