This is an introductory level class through the group of books in the Old Testament classified as “Wisdom Literature.” This includes Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon, and the many sorts of questions that arise when Christians read these books: what is their history, their place in the story of redemption? How do we interpret and appreciate their lessons today? How do we deal with the confusion that can sometimes arise within the teaching of these books?
