Description

Book Synopsis
Western interpretations of poverty proverbs in the Old Testament Book of Proverbs have tended to see a status quo acceptance in the ancient texts, thus neglecting existential challenges of the poverty issue. In contrast, Lechion Peter Kimilike argues that African proverbial material on poverty may â when used comparatively to interpret the corresponding Old Testament poverty proverbs â create a more dynamic analysis. The authorâs new and thought-provoking interpretation suggests an African transformational hermeneutic that balances between the questions and methodology of the global [i.e., western] guild and the concerns of the African interpretative context.
