Synopsis
The title of the book can be pleasantly deceiving. Crenshaw goes well beyond the wisdom tradition found in the biblical books of Ecclesiates, Psalms, Proverbs, and Job. He takes a broader perspective and includes apocrapha writings as well as Egyptian and Mesopotamian literature. This is a very thorough, concise, and well orgainized book, much appreciated for students working under time constraints.

Review
"Crenshaw's treatment delights the scholar while not stultifying the student. It deserves a prize for scholarship and insight."--James Chukwuma Okoye, CSSp, The Bible Today, July 2010 p.234
