摘要

这些问题。首先,读者必须承认他们的无知。我们不明白上帝的目的;有时,苦难仍然存在,用来教导人的品格,或者让罪人改弦更张。其次,读者必须检查他们内心的动机,确保他们寻求正义而不是复仇。最后,读者应该在更广泛的圣经背景下阅读《箴言》。总的来说,这本书在解读《箴言集》的信息方面做得很好。埃尔南德斯引人入胜的故事和生动的风格,以及书的相对简洁,使这部作品能够为广大读者所接受。在某些方面,埃尔南德斯本可以提供更清晰的信息。例如,整本书中使用的两个主要隐喻(谜题和路径)会引起一些混乱。然而,总的来说,这本书可读性很强。埃尔南德斯承认他“几乎完全专注于《箴言集》”(第138页)。如上所述,在后记中,埃尔南德斯赞扬在更广泛的文学背景下阅读《箴言》;然而,读者可能觉得自己没有做好这样做的准备。此外,基督教读者可能希望更多地讨论《箴言》的信息与《新约》中的智慧之间的关系。尽管如此,这本书还是对《箴言集》本身的一个极好的介绍,其基础是埃尔南德斯富有洞察力的学术和田园观察。

Warren Carter, The Roman Empire and the New Testament: An Essential Guide
these problems. First, readers must acknowledge their ignorance. We do not understand the Lord’s purposes; sometimes hardships remain to teach character or to allow sinners to change paths. Second, readers must check their hearts’ motives, ensuring that they seek justice rather than vengeance. Finally, readers should read Proverbs in its broader Scriptural context. Overall, this book does an excellent job of unpacking the message of the book of Proverbs. Hernández’s engaging stories and lively style, as well as the relative brevity of the book, make the work accessible to a range of readers. At certain points, Hernández could have provided greater clarity. For instance, the use throughout the book of two dominant metaphors (puzzle and pathway) causes some confusion. Overall, however, the book is quite readable. Hernández admits he has “almost exclusively focused on the Book of Proverbs” (p. 138). As mentioned above, in the afterword, Hernández commends reading Proverbs in its wider literary context; yet, readers may not feel well equipped to do so. Furthermore, Christian readers may want more discussion of how the message of Proverbs relates to the wisdom as found in the New Testament. Nevertheless, the book serves as an excellent introduction to the book of Proverbs itself, grounded by Hernández’s insightful scholarly and pastoral observations.
