Side Lights on the Book of ProverbsA most refreshing book to read, in which much valuable information has been brought together in a small compass. The chapters dealing with words and phrases, idioms, and figures of speech, are particularly illuminating, and those on comparative proverbs from early Eastern literature to modern times, are a real contribution to Proverb lore. Contents Include - Wisdom and its Seven Pillars - The House of Folly and its Inmates - Word Pictures - Words and their ways in Hebrew and in English - Some Emendations - Idioms and Figures of Speech - Body, Soul, and Spirit - The book of Proverbs in the new Testament - Similarities in Ecclesiasticus - Proverbs in Early Eastern Literature - Proverbs in Classical and other Languages - Proverbs in English Literature |
