Ancient Truth: Wisdom Literature

The Bible is Ancient Truth, but must be read in its own ancient context to be fully understood. Even the people among whom Jesus lived no longer understood their own Hebrew heritage because the leadership had embraced Western intellectual assumptions which were then foreign to Scripture. Where we stand today is even more foreign. The burden of responsibility is upon us to travel back into that world, to the context in which God chose to reveal Himself. This volume examines Job, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon in light of those Hebrew mental assumptions. (Psalms and Proverbs will appear in separate volumes in this series.)
