These explications show how the gospel shines out in the first
and last chapters of the Old Testament Wisdom Literature.
The wisdom literature of the Old Testament can be daunting.
Sidney Greidanus, in the book's foreword, describes Old Testament
wisdom literature as "one of the more difficult genres to interpret
and preach." Yet the numerous proverbs and sayings meet us in
everyday life, teaching us much about understanding and applying
the gospel.
Pastor Douglas O'Donnell writes, "Just as every book of the Old
Testament adds light to our understanding of Jesus, so the
revelation of God in the person of Christ enlightens our
understanding of the Old Testament." Not only do the wisdom books
teach us about Jesus Christ, but we understand the books better in
light of the revelation of God's Son.
O'Donnell opens up the genre of wisdom literature through six
chapters that look at how the gospel shines through Proverbs,
Ecclesiastes, and Job. He specifically centers on the first and
last chapters of each book, noting how the texts illustrate "the
wisdom of God in the sufferings of our Savior." Pastors, church
leaders, and students of Scripture will find this thoughtful volume
demonstrative of seeing the gospel in the Wisdom Literature.
