Description

"In this exploration of Jewish Wisdom during the Hellenistic period, internationally known scholar John J. Collins examines the books of Sirach and the Wisdom of Solomon, the Sentences of Pseudo-Phocylides, and the recently discovered Qumran Sapiential A text from the Dead Sea Scrolls - offering one of the first such looks at this text in print. This commentary is a compelling analysis of these four important texts and their continuing traditions."--Jacket.
