Description

Israel’s poets and sages left a scriptural legacy that has powerfully shaped the worship, thoughts and actions of the folk of God. Within the highs and lows and crossroads of life, we instinctively turn to their poetry, proverbs and discourses for the language we don’t possess and the wisdom we desperately are looking for. Yet there may be more to this literature than meets the eye–or fills the momentary need. A study of the Bible’s wisdom and poetry will dramatically strengthen its power and effectiveness. From the depths of lament to the heights of praise, from the eroticism of the Song of Songs to the hard realism of Ecclesiastes, and from the aphorisms of Proverbs to the discourses of Job, this guide introduces readers to the ancient background, the literary artistry, and the assorted and timeless messages of the Psalms and Wisdom literature. Ernest C. Lucas gives us an informed, illuminating and interactive introduction to this part of Scripture. Sparkling with interest and geared to the wishes of students, this is a wonderful textbook introduction to the Psalms and Wisdom literature.
