| Summary: | This collection is a series of Perry’s close readings of biblical passages with a traditional or a previously unidentified connection to Wisdom. All advance in some way his refocusing of Wisdom as the preservation of life, and insights are brought to bear from rabbinic sources, medieval Jewish commentators, and modern European literature. This approach yields some unexpected and fruitful intertextual connections, such as the parallels which redefine Israel’s ‘going up from the land’ in Exod. |
