Proverbs shows some Egyptian influence. 07:44 – The big picture of Proverbs: Do I seek wisdom? Wisdom is portrayed as feminine and is a Tree of Life to all who lay hold upon her. 24:05 – The Wisdom Tradition clarifies the difference between the wise person and the fool. Many parallels exist between Nephi and Proverbs, as Nephi was trained in the Wisdom Tradition. 31:02 – Truth and goodness are found in so many religions and cultures. We can cultivate holy envy and compare bests with bests when discussing other religious traditions. 34:26 – The “Strange Woman” described in Proverbs can be seen as a type of the evils mankind should avoid, as her paths lead to death. 35:28 – Whoever finds wisdom finds life unto their soul. Wisdom speaks of her companionship with God during the creation. 44:51 – Who can find a virtuous woman? This can be interpreted as finding wisdom or as being a woman of strength and power. 49:05 – The dominant theme in Ecclesiastes is that all is vanity or “hevel”, meaning that everything on this earth is temporary and fleeting. A valuable lesson we can take from this is to focus our time and energy on what matters most. 54:12 – The authorship of Ecclesiastes is traditionally attributed to Solomon, but can also be dated to a later time period. 1:03:12 – Ecclesiastes 12 contains evidence of a later editor reshaping the final message of the book, where it is concluded that the only activity of lasting and permanent value comes from obedience to God’s commandments. → Bryce Dunford’s Website → Apple Podcasts → Google Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Stitcher → Facebook → YouTube
