Wisdom Books: Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Wisdom, Sirach

by: William A. Anderson, DMin, PhD

Unlike most Old Testament books, the Wisdom Books don’t relate scenes from Israel’s history. Instead, these sayings, songs, and poems show us how to understand and deal with everyday problems through the lens of faith.

From the suffering of Job, to the pragmatic proverbs, to the vanity of all things and the intimate love of God, these books spiritually nourish and instruct God’s people how to live well and in accord with one another and all creation. Guided by the Spirit, all can learn to know, love, and fear the Lord.

This title is part of the Liguori Catholic Bible Study. The study is a series of 21 books introducing each and every book of the Bible, providing insight into the Sacred Words of antiquity, and inviting us to discover the living Word and its impact on our daily lives. With narrative, study questions, reflections, keynotes, and prayer, your understanding of Scripture will be deepened with the introduction to the spiritual practice of lectio divina.
