Origins of Hebrew wisdom literature -- Literary and theological forms -- Proverbs: making the most of life -- Ethical teaching in the Proverbs -- Proverbs and prudential morality -- The theologizing of wisdom -- Job: towering challenge to prudential religion -- The heart of the matter -- My redeemer lives -- More than a man can take -- Where we find God -- Ecclesiastes: the question of meaning -- Learn the art of living.
Hebrew wisdom turns the old proverb around: "Learn and live." Experience and insight of the past can guide living in the present. This book is an introduction to the wisdom literature of the Old Testament. The first chapters tell of its origins, literary forms, and theological ideas. Then several chapters each are given to interpreting Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes. In limited space, Dr. Johnson focuses on the larger themes of these books and does it in a style that will appeal to most Bible students. Back book flap
