Sayings Of The Wise: The Legacy Of King Solomon (classic Bible Series) 🔍
New York: St. Martin's Griffin, Classic Bible series, 1st St. Martin's Griffin ed, New York, 2000
foreword by Libby Purves; introduction by Lawrence Boadt 🔍
description
From the time of King Solomon until after the exile of the Jews in Babylon, sages and scribes composed and collected the aphorisms and longer discourses that now constitute the Old Testament books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. The powerful phrases and images they used have had a profound impact on subsequent conceptions of what it means to be wise or foolish. Even today many of these sayings are a part of commonplace parlance. The complete texts of the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes are reproduced here, along with helpful commentary on the literary influence of key images and quotations.
