OT6 – Old Testament Wisdom Literature

The Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament is made up of five books that teach us about God and about how to live a virtuous life.  From the struggles of Job, to the beauty of the Psalms and Proverbs, to the reality check of Ecclesiastes and the romantic poetry of the Song of Songs – the Old Testament wisdom literature give us insight into the practical meaning of human life before God.
