Excesisive preoccupation with the 'historicity' of the Old Testament has for long distracted attention from the theological importance of 'wisdom', that movement of thought which reached Israel from the ancient Near East and found written expression in books like Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and ecclesiasticus. Now the importance of widsom is being increasingly recognised, but comparitively few full-length studies have been devoted to it.
In his last book, Professor von Rad has risen magnificently to the task and has produced a work of theological understanding that stands alongside his classic commentary on Genesis.
