Exploring the Old Testament- Volume 3: A Guide to the Psalms & Wisdom Literature
Israel's poets and sages left a scriptural legacy that has powerfully shaped the worship- thoughts and actions of the people of God. In the highs and lows and crossroads of life- we instinctively turn to their poetry- proverbs and discourses for the language we do not possess and the wisdom we desperately seek. Yet there is more to this literature than meets the eye--or fills the momentary need. A study of the Bible's wisdom and poetry will dramatically enhance 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 varied and timeless messages of the Psalms and Wisdom literature. Ernest C. Lucas gives us an informed- illuminating and interactive introduction to this portion of Scripture. Sparkling with interest and geared to the needs of students- this is an excellent textbook introduction to the Psalms and Wisdom literature.
