The Wisdom Books: Job to Song of Solomon – eBook

The five wisdom books are distinctly different from each other, but have as a unifying theme a contrast between the righteous and the ungodly, and not simply between the wise and the fool. Job wrestles with why a righteous person suffers. Psalms, the most beloved book of the Old Testament, is a hymnbook. Proverbs contains practical, everday philosophy. Eccleiastes is about the apparent futility of life. And the Song of Solomon is a drama that extols the preciousness of human love. Although each of more than 200 readings is short, the content is rich with careful explanation, devotional warmth, and practical relevance.
