BIB516 : Proverbs

Life is not a spectator sport: this book provides practical guidance for daily challenges, collected from one who is widely regarded as the wisest man who ever lived.

In a manner suggestive of a laboratory course, a student log book will be maintained to empirically examine the actual affects of this collection on the life of the student.

Among many surprises encountered are some overlooked identities (Lemuel, Agur, Ithiel, and Ucal) and Solomon's enigmatic riddle of the Messiah.
