In popular perception, Wisdom literature is a 'self-help' or 'philosophy' section of the Old Testament library—the odd and interesting bits of canonical mortar between History and Prophets. But Old Testament scholarship has come to see the wisdom of the wise as reflecting an aspect of the Israelite worldview, not something totally foreign. The covenant beliefs are presupposed, even if rarely rising to the surface. The focus of Interpreting Old Testament Wisdom Literature is on both wisdom books and wisdom ideas. Part one surveys recent developments in the field of Old Testament wisdom. Part two discusses some issues that have arisen in Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes, and examines Song of Songs as a wisdom text. Part Three explores topics, such as wisdom in Ruth, in Psalms, and in biblical theology. This volume is edited by David G. Firth and Lindsay Wilson and contains contributions from Christopher B. Ansberry, Craig G. Bartholomew, Lennart Bostrvm, Ros Clarke, Katharine J. Dell, David G. Firth, Gregory Goswell, Ernest C. Lucas, Brittany N. Melton, Simon Stocks, Lindsay Wilson.
