The Book of Sirach raises many questions: philological, exegetical,
literary, historical, theological. There were even confessional
questions which divided the traditions of synagogues and churches.
It is, therefore, a fascinating book, located on the edges of the
canon. Does the book attempt to repair the harm done by the erosive
criticism of Job and Qoheleth, or is it the work of a thoughtful
interpreter who, in a time of change, seeks to bear the tradition
towards the new situation emerging from the Hellenistic Diaspora?
Is it a book which aims at the restoration of the true faith
against the autonomous questing of human wisdom, or is it merely a
sincere, if shrewd, experiment at dialogue between the legitimate
reasoning of the world and the wisdom given in the Law? According
to a well-tried methodology of juxtaposing the specialists of
different schools, this volume presents an up to date consideration
of historical, exegetical and theological research.
