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.
