Description

“The concern of the Lord is the start of wisdom.” Within the Wisdom literature of the Bible we first hear the cool voice of a teacher calling us to think–to think hard and humbly. “How long will fools hate knowledge?” cries Wisdom Within the book of Proverbs. Then in Job comes the anguished voice of the questioner, earnest enough to are trying to find answers, honest enough to doubt easy ones. In Ecclesiastes the chastened tone of the Preacher warns of the vanity of all life under the sun. Sensitive to both literary form and theological content, Derek Kidner introduces Proverbs, Job and Ecclesiastes, explaining their basic character and internal structure. He also summarizes and evaluates the wealth of brand new criticism eager about every book. Having a look at all three books together, Kidner shows how their many voices compare, contrast and in the long run give a unified view of life. Kidner extends his analysis to incorporate Ecclesiasticus and The Wisdom of Solomon from the Apocrapha, and he reprints excerpts from non-Israelite works that parallel the three major books treated.
