A study of the Poetical Books of the Old Testament (Job through the Song of Solomon). Emphasis is on Old Testament wisdom and worship literature.

PROFESSOR’S ADDITIONAL COMMENT
In the early years of Israel’s kingdom, God provided the inspired Words of Scripture which we refer to in our English Old Testament as the “Poetical Books.” These consist of poems, songs and dialogues reflecting the meditations and questions of the writer’s hearts and minds. During this course we will experience the beauty of Hebrew poetry. We will also explore the wise observations and interpretations for everyday living found in the “Wisdom Literature” framed in the genre of the Bible’s poetry.
