The Wisdom

The Old Testament contains a collection of writings that were produced to offer instructions about life on earth. The Human condition is one full of questions like, “Why do good people suffer?” and “Why do bad people prosper?” In many ways, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs provide direction and wise words about life. While some questions are answered, other questions are raised. Wisdom literature gives us a space to wrestle with life’s toughest questions.
