Includes bibliographical references.
The wisdom literature of the Bible (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs) is filled with practical principles for everyday life. While some Christians are deterred by the seemingly general nature of these matter-of-fact guidelines, they are as integral to God's purposes for his people as the explicitly theological material that dominates other parts of Scripture. The wisdom books in their own unique way enrich and strengthen the church. From back cover.
Edward M Curtis is professor of biblical and theological studies at Biola University and Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada, California; David M. Howard, Jr. is professor of Old Testament at Bethel Seminary in St. Paul, MN. He was also past president of the Evangelical Theological Society.
