We’ve also learned that four perspectives are characteristic of Proverbs (see below). As the first exercise in this lesson taught, Proverbs is not prescriptive and, therefore, not moralistic. It is not saying, “Don’t do this, do that.” Rather it is descriptive. 

  1. Advice from elders to young men
  2. Wisdom: understanding plus character
  3. Integrated: holistic and integrated worldview
  4. Grounded in nature and culture

Take note, we have one more perspective in Proverbs to learn. Look out for it in the lectures to come.
