- Title
WISDOM INCARNATE: PREACHING PROVERBS 31.
- Authors
SHAW, KAREN L. H.
- Abstract
Proverbs 31:10-31, a favorite Mother's Day sermon text, is often interpreted as an appendix to Proverbs which teaches the role of women and presents a model of godly femininity. This article challenges that interpretation by considering the passage carefully in light of its immediate context, its function in the book of Proverbs, and its place in the canon of Scripture. The author contends that this passage should be preached as an integral part of the Bible's wisdom literature, addressed to all who need to grow in competence, character and an appreciation of the practical wisdom of others.
