Interpreting Old Testament wisdom literature
Outline: In popular perception, Wisdom literature is a "self-help" or "philosophy" section of the Old Testament library - the odd and interesting bits of canonical mortar between History and Prophets. But Old Testament scholarship has come to see the wisdom of the wise as reflecting as aspect of the Israelite worldview. The covenant beliefs are presupposed, even if rarely rising to the surface. The focus of this volume is on both wisdom books and wisdom ideas. Part one surveys recent developments in the field of Old Testament wisdom. Part tow discusses some issues that have arisen in Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes, and examines the Song of Songs as a wisdom text. Part three explores topics, such as wisdom in Ruth, in Psalms, and in biblical theology. The contributors are Christopher B. Ansberry, Craig G. Bartholomew, Lennart Bostrom, Ros Clarke, Katharine J. Dell, David G. Firth, Gregory Goswell, Ernest C. Lucas, Brittany N. Melton, Simon Stocks, and Lindsay Wilson.
