A Topical Treasury of Proverbs

A Topical Treasury of Proverbs


“I have been so blessed by my daily readings from this book. Subjects chosen are clear and contemporary and give the reader a comprehensive teaching on each subject; includes a daily reading plan of Proverbs by subject and a verse listing of every topic in each verse. The book is an excellent contribution to an understanding of the book of Proverbs. I am amazed at the depth of research that has been put into this book – the time spent on each verse to classify subjects is truly remarkable.”

Tom's Corner
Determining the Topics
Tom Clarke As author of A Topical Treasury of Proverbs, one of the challenges I had was in determining the topics. While 100 topics are listed in the book, there were 125 topics that I identified in my analysis. Rather than simply selecting 100 of the 125, I began a process of looking for truly unique topics.

In this book, most verses are found under several topics; for example, 'Grace' and 'Mercy' were originally two topics with a great deal of overlap. I found that by combining the topic to 'Grace / Mercy', I was able to have one unique topic. I wanted to be sure that each topic was uniquely different from the other 99 topics. A considerable amount of time was spent arranging and re-arranging each topic so that a quality manuscript would be produced.
