Synopsis
A comprehensive study of the themes and meanings of Wisdom Literature in the Bible and Apocrypha (the books of Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Ben Sira, and The Wisdom of Solomon) by a world-renowned scholar. Throughout the Bible, Wisdom remains an elusive and allusive figure, but Wisdom is crucial to our understanding of human life and underlies much of the common sense and practical knowledge that guide us today.
