1950s British B-movie starring Greta Gynt. After telling his next
of kin that he has decided to make changes in his will, an elderly
millionaire is murdered before he gets the chance to go ahead with
his plans. When his niece, crime writer Sophie (Gynt), finds
herself one of the suspects she attempts to solve the case on her
own.
SCM Core Text: Wisdom Literature Author: Alastair Hunter This
textbook is aimed at undergraduates on level two or three courses
relating to Old Testament Wisdom literature. The book begins with a
consideration of what the term 'wisdom literature' means in Hebrew
usage, and also examines which biblical materials might properly be
classified as belonging to the category of wisdom literature. The
cultural and political context of ancient Israel is examined,
together with an analysis of the key problem of whether or not
there were any practical levels of literacy in the period in
question. The middle section of the book looks in more depth at
those books considered to contain 'wisdom literature': Proverbs,
Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Wisdom of Solomon and Ecclesiasticus.
The genre is characterised by praise of God, often in poetic form
and by sayings of wisdom intended to teach about God and about
virtue.Questions of authorship, editing, interpretation, the
historical context of some of the writings, the book's major themes
and sub-themes and the latest criticisms of each are laid out for
discussion and analysis. The book is written with the undergraduate
in mind, and is full of pedagogical features including tables and
summaries of data, which allows for a more intensive agenda and for
those with knowledge of classical Hebrew to pursue individual
themes at greater depth.
