Wisdom as a Woman of Substance: A Socioeconomic Reading of Proverbs 1-9 and 31:10-31
Book information
Description
The book is a slightly reworked version of a doctoral thesis submitted to Princeton Theological Seminary (supervisor Choon Leong Seow). It aims to clarify the origin of the wisdom figure in Prov 1-9 with regard to the poem about the so-called "woman of worth" in Prov 31:10-31. In a short review of current interpretations Yoder demonstrates that until now, the concept of personified Wisdom has mainly been traced back to a goddess tradition whereas its counterpart, the "strange" woman or, rather "Woman Folly" was related to real women. Yoder aims to bridge this interpretative hiatus by reconsidering the socioeconomic background of the texts mentioned, and the perception of women that may have shaped the sage's ideas about Wisdom. Methodologically her approach is a continuation of recent studies on the sociohistorical background of wisdom literature which for the book of Proverbs have been focused on the figure of the "strange" woman (J. Blenkinsopp, T. C. Eskenazi, C. Maier, H. C. Washington). In addition to this perspective, Yoder attempts to confirm the oft-stated date of the book's frame texts as being in the Persian Period by a thorough analysis of its linguistic evidence.
