The last fifty years have seen a dramatic increase of interest in
the wisdom literature of the Bible, as scholars have come to
appreciate the subtlety and originality of Proverbs, Job, and
Ecclesiastes as well as of Sirach and Wisdom of Solomon. Interest
has likewise grown in the wisdom literatures of the neighboring
cultures of Canaan, Egypt, and especially Mesopotamia. To help
readers understand the place of biblical wisdom within this broader
context, including its originality and distinctiveness, this volume
offers a rich collection of essays by distinguished Assyriologists
and biblicists on the social, intellectual, and literary setting of
Mesopotamian wisdom; on specific wisdom texts; and on key themes
common to both Mesopotamian and biblical culture. Scholars,
pastors, and laity will find these essays both fascinating and
enriching. Contributors to the volume include Paul-Alain Beaulieu,
Richard J. Clifford, James L. Crenshaw, Edward Greenstein, Victor
Avigdor Hurowitz, Karel van der Toorn, and Raymond C. Van Leeuwen.
Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical
Literature (www.sbl-site.org)
