Read
Chapter 41 of "The world and the word" by Eugene H Merrill and answer
the question. Question: Following Merrill's presentation,
given a section-by-section overview of the book of Proverbs.
Although a huge percentage of the book of Proverbs
was attributed to Solomon, this perception has begun to change due to critical
scholarship. However, the comparative wisdom writings from Mesopotamia and
Egypt have undermined their notions (Rooker, 2011). Although William McKane
claimed the book underwent historical changes through the development of ideas,
there is no evidence of Israel’s religious evolution (Rooker, 2011). Therefore,
the book's authorship can be attributed to Solomon’s association with the
various titles in Proverbs and the loopholes in the criticism of this notion.
