Overview

"Westminster John Knox Press is pleased to present the seventeen-volume Old Testament for Everyone series. Internationally respected Old Testament scholar John Goldingay addresses Scripture from Genesis to Malachi in such a way that even the most challenging passages are explained simply and concisely. The series is perfect for daily devotions, group study, or personal visits with the Bible. In this volume, Goldingay explores three books of the Old Testament in the wisdom literature genre. These three books are all associated with Solomon and his wisdom, yet unlike other books, they do not mention the Torah, the exodus, or the covenant. As Goldingay says, ""The basis of their teaching is the way life actually works. They look at life and reflect on experience and encourage people to live on the basis of how life works."" Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs for Everyone explores three practical, down to earth, and hopeful books."
