This valuable volume builds upon the recognition that wisdom has tended to be marginalised in biblical studies (and Christian preaching).
Welcoming a recent resurgence of interest, it offers a valuable conservative and evangelical analysis and contribution to these developments. Inevitably the essays are uneven and the coverage of the various biblical books left to the emphases and interests of each author. However, rarely do they disappoint.
