Top Highlights
“In many churches today men are placed into positions of pastor or elder based on education, personality, or professional achievements. However, the Bible does not consider any of these. In the Scriptures an elder was an older, mature adult who was recognized for his wisdom and experience. He was to be looked up to for advice and guidance. His character, not his achievements, was important.” (Page 70)
“The purpose of Chronicles may be stated as follows: To rally the returned remnant to hopeful temple worship (effective purpose) by demonstrating their link with the enduring Davidic promises (expressive means).” (Page 283)
“This word רֵאשִׁית is used in two ways: to refer to something that has priority in time or origin (e.g., Gen. 1:1), or to a principal part. Both meanings seem to be combined in Proverbs 1:7, in view of what is said in Proverbs about fearing God.” (Pages 430–431)
“The all-embracing term for wisdom is חָכְמָה. It conveys the idea of skill. Proverbs aims to show a person how to become adroit at the greatest skill of all, the skill of living.” (Page 425)
“Babylon is identified as a harlot. However, the reference is not to her spiritual nature. Rather the focus is on the prostitution of her values for economic gain.” (Page 434)
