Wisdom in Ancient Israel

Editat de John Day, Robert P. Gordon, Hugh Godfrey Maturin Williamson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 dec 1997
In this collection, an international group of specialists considers the nature of wisdom in relation to the thought world of the ancient Near East and its impact on the rest of the Old Testament. In addition to full coverage of the wisdom books and other literature most frequently thought to have been influenced by them, thematic studies also introduce the principal comparative sources among Israel's neighbours and discuss the place of wisdom in Israelite religion, theology, and society.
