Abstract
This paper examines the emphasis by C. Westermann and F. W. Golka on comparative material from so-called primitive or non-writing cultures as a means of coming to conclusions about ancient Israelite proverbs. The focus is on Golka's contribution as the most provocative. The relationship between his theological orientation and his handling of proverbs as well as his demand for certainty and his treatment of scholarly literature are discussed. The mainstay of the paper is an investigation of his use of African material in support of his views on ancient Israelite proverbial literature.
