Israel's poets and sages left a scriptural legacy that has
powerfully shaped the worship, thoughts and actions of the people
of God. In the highs and lows and crossroads of life, we
instinctively turn to their poetry, proverbs and discourses for the
language we do not possess and the wisdom we desperately seek. Yet
there is more to this literature than meets the eye--or fills the
momentary need. A study of the Bible's wisdom and poetry will
dramatically enhance its power and effectiveness. From the depths
of lament to the heights of praise, from the eroticism of the Song
of Songs to the hard realism of Ecclesiastes, and from the
aphorisms of Proverbs to the discourses of Job, this guide
introduces readers to the ancient background, the literary
artistry, and the varied and timeless messages of the Psalms and
Wisdom literature. Ernest C. Lucas gives us an informed,
illuminating and interactive introduction to this portion of
Scripture. Sparkling with interest and geared to the needs of
students, this is an excellent textbook introduction to the Psalms
and Wisdom literature.
