This fall, we will continue the Biblical Wisdom Literature course. We will be starting to review Sirach, a wisdom book included in the Apocrypha, a collection of books written between the Old and New Testaments that are included in Catholic and Orthodox bibles but usually not included in Protestant bibles. The books of the Apocrypha serve as a bridge that helps explain the progression of Judaic thought between the Old and New Testaments.

After Sirach, we will review the Song of Songs and Daniel before returning to an important book from the Apocrypha, The Wisdom of Solomon. The final phase of the course (which will not happen until next Spring) will take us to the wisdom literature of the New Testament.

The Biblical Wisdom Literature course traces the development of wisdom thought and literature from early Judaism to early Christianity, helping to deepen understanding of the Biblical story of God’s ongoing revelation of Godself to humankind. You can join us any time and still learn about the treasury of wisdom literature in our Bible.
