the Proverb Curb

The first stop of the Proverb Curb is to consider the life truths written thousands of years ago in “The Book of Proverbs,” a collection of wisdom and truths published in the Christian Bible. A number of us are commenting on the Proverbs as we read through the entire compilation throughout early 2010. After that, who knows?

The challenge is simple- read through Proverbs in January-February 2010 and, if anything inspires you, simply share here at the Proverb Curb.

Best Wishes,

the Proverb Curb

What are the Proverbs?
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica:

an Old Testament book of “wisdom” writing found in the third section of the Jewish canon, known as the Ketuvim, or Writings. The book’s superscription, “The proverbs of Solomon. . . ,” is not to say that it as a whole or even individual proverbs should be credited to King Solomon, for scholarly examination discloses that it contains seven collections of wisdom materials (mostly short sayings) from a wide variety of periods, all after Solomon’s time.
