The Moral Vision of Proverbs: A Virtue-Oriented Approach to Wisdom by Timothy J.

Description: The Moral Vision of Proverbs by Timothy J. Sandoval Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This major statement on Proverbs by a Christian scholar provides a critical, virtue-ethics approach to a text laden with interpretive challenges for modern readers. Publisher Description Wisdom literature is an unfamiliar genre to modern readers and presents many interpretive challenges. In this major new work, respected wisdom scholar Timothy Sandoval argues that the book of Proverbs, though difficult to access for some, provides a coherent moral vision for human flourishing. The approach Sandoval argues for in The Moral Vision of Proverbs is that of virtue ethics, or character ethics, particularly that which emerges from the classical tradition of Aristotle (as opposed to reading the book, intentionally or unintentionally, through the lenses of modern ethical systems). Sandoval engages with specialists in this ethical tradition as well as biblical scholars to make his case that Proverbs is an ancient, virtue-oriented moral discourse. This comprehensive critical study of Proverbs analyzes the books major topics and strives to discern the moral and philosophical presuppositions and logic of its rhetoric, all the while engaging past and present interpretive approaches. Although authored by a Christian scholar, this text will be of great interest to a broadly ecumenical audience, whether students of the Old Testament/Tanakh/Hebrew Bible, biblical scholars, or Christian ethicists and moral theologians." Author Biography Timothy J. Sandoval (PhD, Emory University) is professor of religion at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. His teaching and scholarly work has focused on the book of Proverbs and the Bibles wisdom literature with special attention to questions of ethics, justice, and poverty in the biblical world.
