The Social World of the Sages: An Introduction to Israelite and Jewish Wisdom Literature
Mark R. Sneed
The notion of a distinct "wisdom tradition" in ancient Israel has a long history - but does it have a basis in the evidence? The author argues for a redefinition of the wisdom literature as a loosely cohering collection of books aimed at educating scribal apprentices in moral instruction and the art of living.
