AB The oft repeated claim that the Israelite sapiential tradition, at least as expressed in the adages of the Hebrew Bible, does not work with revelation, is questioned from the angle of natural theology. In sapiential literature, it is argued, the idea of revelation may at most be deficient in the sense that it lacks the traditional modes of expression found in other traditions. But when expressions of wisdom as an apprehension of God are compared to non-sapiential ways of articulating 'relevatory' experiences, it appears that the differences are variations of style, not dissimilarity in essence.
