Proverbs 31 - a fresh approach

This Sunday we will finish the book of Proverbs by looking at Proverbs 31. Sadly, for many Christians, Proverbs 31 has only one application => what a perfect wife should look like.

Dr. Bruce Waltke, an Old Testament professor at RTS Orlando and Regent College in Vancouver disagrees with that only application. Dr. Waltke who has written the best commentary on Proverbs does a wonderful job exegeting Proverbs 31 from a Biblical perspective that is not limited to just one simple application.

Consider just this for a moment. Why do you think the book of Proverbs ends on this poem? Is it just tacked onto the end of Proverbs with no real connection to the rest of the book, or is it meant to be understood as a summary to Proverbs? Find out Sunday as we look at Proverbs 31 from a fresh perpective.
