Top Highlights
“By rejecting the resurrection, then, the Corinthians were rejecting not only the very redemptive work of Christ which they professed to believe but also the compelling testimony to the resurrection which Paul had lived out before them through his own willingness to suffer on their behalf just as Christ, before him, had done.” (Page 497)
“The youth addressed in Proverbs has or is about to receive independence and adult responsibilities, yet he lacks maturity and good sense. His moral cast is not yet hardened. He stands at the crossroads where the two paths diverge, and he must now, immediately, enter into the path of life.” (Page 621)
“Samson does not conform to the stereotypical wild man. As Niditch points out, Samson has a human family and, most unlike the wild man, Samson talks.59 In fact, Samson not only talks, he riddles (Judg 14:14), boasts (Judg 15:16), and prays (Judg 15:18; 16:28).” (Page 230)
“most intensive reflection on wisdom comes in chaps. 1–9, which is a hermeneutical preamble to the rest of the book.” (Page 613)
“wisdom as residing within people’s words and thoughts. In the wisdom interludes, it transcends the individual mind” (Pages 616–617)
