The Old Testament's wisdom literature offers one of the most
intriguing collections of biblical books (Proverbs, Job, the Psalms
about Torah and wisdom, Ecclesiastes, Qoheleth, Ben Sira, and the
Wisdom of Solomon). In this magisterial textbook, preeminent wisdom
scholar Leo G. Perdue sets each book of wisdom in its historical
context, examining the conditions that produced the book and shaped
its thinking. This allows him to show how wisdom thought changed
over time in response to shifting historical and social conditions.
In addition to analyzing the historical setting of wisdom, Perdue
discerns the theological themes and theological developments within
this rich literature.
