Jewish Wisdom in the Hellenistic Age (Old Testament Library)

Jewish wisdom flourished under Hellenism in the books of Ben Sira and the wisdom of Solomon as well as in a recently discovered sapiential text from Qumran. In this book now available as a casebound internationally known author John Collins presents a compelling description and analysis of these three texts and their continuing wisdom traditions. The Old Testament Library provides fresh and authoritative treatments of important aspects of Old Testament study through commentaries and general surveys. The contributors are scholars of international standing.
