Interpreting the Wisdom Books : An Exegetical Handbook : Job, Proverbs, Eccleasiastes, Song of Songs
Outline: The wisdom literature of the Bible (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs) is filled with practical principles for everyday life. While some Christians are deterred by the seemingly general nature of these matter-of-fact guidelines, they are as integral to God's purposes for his people as the explicitly theological material that dominates other parts of Scripture. The wisdom books in their own unique way enrich and strengthen the church. To help the pastor, scholar, and student unearth the riches of these books for God's people, this volume, part of the Handbooks for Old Testament Exegesis series, equips the reader with all of the essential tools. It examines the nature and characteristics of the wisdom genre, explores major themes, provides guidance for preaching and teaching, and includes sample sermons from Job and Proverbs. A glossary defines useful terms, and a concluding appendix offers advice on using software and online services in exegetical work.
