PART ONE: Defining wisdom in relation to the Solomonic corpus: -- Deciding the boundaries of 'wisdom': Applying the concept of family resemblance -- The 'wisdom' continuum of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes (without Job) -- The third Solomonic book: Does the Song of Songs have any connections to 'wisdom'?
PART TWO: Solomon's wisdom: -- 'The Lord loved him': Solomon as idealized character and paradigm for character ethics -- Solomon's wisdom and the Egyptian connection -- The roots of Solomonic 'wisdom' in the pre-exilic period (focusing on Proverbs) -- Scribes, sages, and seers in the First Temple
PART THREE: Solomonic 'wisdom' influence on Psalmic and prophetic texts: Literary and contextual -- 'I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre' (Psalm 49:4 5.): A cultic setting for wisdom Psalms? -- 'By me kings reign and rulers declare what is just' (Prov. 8:15): Isaiah 1-39 and wisdom -- Jeremiah, creation and wisdom
PART FOUR: Solomonic 'wisdom' books and intertextual relationships: -- Didactic intertextuality: Proverbial wisdom as illustrated in Ruth -- 'Exploring intertextual links between Ecclesiastes and Genesis 1-11' -- The watered (Edenic) garden (Genesis 2-3) in the Song of Songs and beyond: An intertextual approach.
"A fresh synthesis of material relating to definitions of 'wisdom', the canonical corpus of such books redefined, the historical, literary and contextual aspects of Solomon's reign, wisdom influence on psalms and prophets, and the method of intertextuality and its application to texts linking to the Solomonic corpus. Includes three new chapters that have not been published before"--
