Since 1990 Roland Murphys The Tree of Life has been a standard introduction to the wisdom literature of the Bible. Now The Tree of Life is available in a third edition, complete with a new preface by the author and a special supplement that surveys the latest developments in wisdom research. This superb study devotes a chapter to each of the wisdom writings of scripture, interpreting each work in a way that clearly lays out the development of Israels search for wisdom throughout its tumultuous history.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Reviews
This excellent commentary by a leading Roman Catholic biblical scholar provides clearly written and up-to-date research and interpretation of biblical books that reflect on daily human experience of a world created by God--a contrast from the holy history approach of most of the rest of Hebrew scripture. Murphy examines Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Ecclesiasticus or Ben Sira, and Wisdom of Solomon in detail, examines other passages of scripture that are "wisdom's echoes," and reflects on themes and meanings. Essential for academic, seminary, and large public libraries.
