Take an expert guided tour on how to interpret biblical proverbs and wisdom literature This installment is part of a six-volume series titled Reading the Bible as Literature. In his series preface, Dr. Ryken notes that "the niche these volumes are designed to fill is the literary approach to the Bible. This has been my scholarly passion for nearly half a century. It is my belief that a literary approach to the Bible is the common reader's friend, in contrast to the more specialized types of scholarship on the Bible." Written for pastors and teachers and students of the Bible, Short Sentences Long Remembered explores the nature of proverbs and wisdom literature and the rewards of interpreting them correctly. The author goes one step further than merely explaining these memorable writings-he includes exercises to help his readers master them. Book jacket.
