About this listen

The Proverbs of Solomon are presented here by number-one Amazon best-selling editor, producer, and narrator Steve Cook. Also included is a devotional introduction by number-one top-selling writer/publisher Robert J. Bagley, MA.

The Revised Geneva Translation of the Holy Bible (RGT) is a 21st-century update of the Geneva Bible. It eliminates archaic and potentially distracting 16th-century words and phrases, while at the same time maintaining the strict attention to original intent for which this version of the Holy Bible has always been known.

The Geneva Bible is an Elizabethan-era synthesis of scripture based largely on William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale's early 16th-century translations of the received Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew texts. It is 85 percent similar to the King James Bible. However, the GB actually predated the KJV by at least a half-century and was in fact the more popular Bible of its day among folks like the American pilgrims, William Shakespeare, Oliver Cromwell, and John Bunyon.

In addition, the RGT strives to preserve the textual cadence and poetry that is so essential to Elizabethan literature. Just as in all preceding centuries, biblical text in the 1500s was meant to be heard and seen, as much as read, because so many of those who received it were illiterate. And so the living and active characteristic of God's word is very much kept in mind on this recording.

Proverbs 3:15 challenges us by declaring, “She [Wisdom] is more precious than rubies, and all the things you can desire are not to be compared to her.” Wisdom seekers know that a “proverb-a-day” is an indicated daily spiritual supplement/nourishment, like a multivitamin: It helps protect us from the slippery slopes of life that are sure to rear their heads in our paths and thoughts. One might even call Proverbs a “spiritual immune system builder".
