Weisheit

This commentary for the first time combines all relevant aspects for the interpretation of this late text in the Old Testament/Apocrypha: textual criticism, philological and literary analysis; the dual historical context with the link to Hellenistic environment, on the one hand, and to the biblical tradition on the other; and finally, the - highly innovative - theology of the Book of Wisdom. Aspects of reception history and hermeneutic issues complete the commentary. [Publisher's text]
