Description

Wisdom plays the most important role within the Old Testament, particularly in Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes. This major work from renowned scholar Tremper Longman III examines wisdom within the Old Testament and explores its theological influence at the intertestamental books, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and especially the New Testament.

Longman notes that wisdom is a practical category (the skill of living), an ethical category (a wise person is a virtuous person), and most foundationally a theological category (the concern of the Lord is the start of wisdom). The creator discusses Israelite wisdom within the context of the wider ancient Near East, treats the connection between wisdom within the New Testament and within the Old Testament, and deals with a lot of contested issues, such as the connection of wisdom to prophecy, history, and law.
