Proverbs 10-31 (The Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries) af Michael V. Fox. Meget anderkendt og anvendte kommentar til Ordsprogenes Bog fra den store akademiske Anchor serie. Meget lækker hardback. Hele 752 sider. Som alle Anchor bøger er den temmelig kostbar at købe fra ny. Derfor en god mulighed at få den her til en meget lav pris. Bemærk: Alle de kommentarer jeg lægger ud har fået den højeste ros i diverse teologiske journaler og af de førende pastorer i USA og England. De kommentarer jeg lægger ud her er faktisk gode inden for deres felt. Helt ny. OBS: Jeg har også bind 1 om Ordsprogene 1-9. Se mine andre annoncer. Fra røgfrit hjem.

Om værket:
This volume completes Bible scholar Michael V. Fox’s comprehensive commentary on the book of Proverbs. The author translates and explains in accessible language the meaning and literary qualities of the sayings and poems that comprise the final chapters. He gives special attention to comparable sayings in other wisdom books, particularly from Egypt, and makes extensive use of medieval Hebrew commentaries, which have received scant attention in previous Proverb commentaries. In separate sections set in smaller type, the author addresses technical issues of text and language for interested scholars.
The author’s essays at the end of the commentary view the book of Proverbs in its entirety and investigate its ideas of wisdom, ethics, revelation, and knowledge. Out of Proverbs’ great variety of sayings from different times, Fox shows, there emerges a unified vision of life, its obligations, and its potentials.
The Anchor Bible Commentary on Proverbs 10-31 contains a detailed study of the Hebrew text and issues dealing with the book of Proverbs. He sees the four collections in chapters 10-29 as dating to the 8th-7th centuries BC, with the 4 units in chapters 30-31 added later (date uncertain). The inclusion of so many proverbs involving a king and his court makes it most likely these collections come from the monarchy period (whereas he takes Qoheleth and Ben Sira later, since their view of kingship is much more negative).
Fox not only comments on the text, but also offers some ancient near eastern parallels. In his comments on the well known proverb of 25:21-22 ("you will heap coals on his head"), Fox notes, "Schadenfruede angers God" and "mercy is the best revenge." He does not try to nail down a practice of heaping literal coals on someone's head, instead showing that the metaphor is meant simply to show the pain of humiliation. He also goes on to give similar examples of this proverb in Egyptian and Babylonian literature.
At points, Fox goes beyond his own comments and historical background. For instance, Fox includes 30 pages of discussion of "The Woman of Strength" in 31:10-31, including not only his own comments and overview of potential historical settings, but a short survey of the history of interpretation, a feature he helpfully includes throughout the commentary.
After his commentary portion, Fox has attached four essays. The first, "The Growth of Wisdom," attempts to trace the differences in the understanding of wisdom in the various stages of Proverbs' composition. In "Ethics" Fox finds similarities between Proverbs and the Socratic ("the sages of Proverbs, like Socrates, believed that ignorance alone is the problem and wisdom alone the solution"). In the essay "Revelation" Fox attempts to show that revelation in Proverbs is not "verbal" (i.e., from the Torah) but Proverbs "treats the power of the human mind as adequate to the attainment of all sorts of knowledge." He follows this with "Knowledge," where he argues that Wisdom epistemology is not empiricism, but argues for a "coherence theory of truth." I would imagine that someone trained in philosophy would do a better job than I in analyzing much of what is contained in these essays, but I still found them interesting to read.
There are, naturally, areas of potential disagreement for those interested in studying Proverbs more deeply, particularly if you are an Evangelical.
All in all, Fox is a very good scholar of Wisdom literature, and thus has written a very helpful, scholarly work on Proverbs. Scholars will, of course, get the most use out of it, but I'd venture to say that it would serve well preachers and teachers, too. It will probably not be the only commentary you'll want to consult, but it is certainly worth having by your side.
