In this book, Benjamin Wold builds on recent developments in the
study of early Jewish wisdom literature and brings it to bear on
the New Testament. This scholarship has been transformed by the
discovery at Qumran of more than 900 manuscripts, including Hebrew
wisdom compositions, many of which were published in critical
editions beginning in the mid-1990s. Wold systematically explores
the salient themes in the Jewish wisdom worldview found in these
scrolls. He also presents detailed commentaries on translations and
articulates the key debates regarding Qumran wisdom literature,
highlighting the significance of wisdom within the context of
Jewish textual culture. Wold's treatment of themes within the early
Jewish and Christian textual cultures demonstrates that wisdom
transcended literary form and genre. He shows how and why the
publication of these ancient texts has engendered profound shifts
in the study of early Jewish wisdom, and their relevance to current
controversies regarding the interpretation of specific New
Testament texts.
