Characteristics of Wisdom Literature
The Old Testament wisdom books are some of the most popular parts of the Bible. But sometimes they’re also challenging to understand. How can we get the most out of the vivid poetry of the Psalms and the Song of Solomon, the collections of sayings in Proverbs, or the weighty words of Job and Ecclesiastes? In this message, Dr. R.C. Sproul helps us interpret the different kinds of poetry contained in these books so that we may grow in wisdom and in the fear of the Lord.
