| Summary: | This is an introduction to the wisdom literature which is designed for a teaching environment, containing ‘questions for review’ at the end of each chapter, ‘key words’, and suggestions for further reading. Penchansky divides wisdom books into two classes—Hebrew and Greek. The Hebrew, canonical wisdom books have one character—more open and exposing of their disagreements with each other—and the Greek, extra-canonical books ‘mistrust outsiders and are defensive against strange ideas’ (p. 2). |
