Topical Reading List

The Beyond Today Bible Commentary covers the book of Proverbs sequentially by chapter. However, we are also inserting this topical reading list for the book. We have chosen a division into 34 categories, divided into 3 parts. Please note that this is not the only way or the best way to divide the book. It is merely a way that verses can be arranged to emphasize particular subjects. By putting all the proverbs on a given subject together a powerful punch is created. Reading scripture after scripture about “diligence,” for example, helps to really get the point. Also, going through the book this way helps to illustrate the breadth of its application to all areas of life.
