Ceresko explores the books of Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes (Qoheleth), Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) and Wisdom, showing the development and function of wisdom literature in the ancient world and within Israel, both as a form of literature and as a guide for daily life. He presents a general overview of the themes, structure and historical background and looks closely at significant texts from each wisdom book.
