Reading Wisdom and Psalms as Christian Scripture A Literary, Canonical, and Theological Introduction Christopher B. Ansberry READING CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURE This survey textbook offers an accessible introduction to the wisdom books and the Psalter in their literary, theological, and canonical contexts. Reading Wisdom and Psalms as Christian Scripture pays particular attention to theological themes. The bulk of the book is devoted to exploring specific theological themes in Proverbs, Job, Eccle - siastes, the Song of Songs, and the Psalter. Christopher Ansberry skillfully connects these themes to comparable themes in the other books discussed in the volume and to the broader biblical canon. He also integrates philosophical concerns and questions. This addition to the Reading Christian Scripture series is an ideal faith-friendly introduction for students of the Old Testament, Wis- dom literature, and Psalms. It features a beautiful full-color design with an abundance of sidebars, images, and other visual aids to enhance the reading experience and facilitate learning.
“This may well be the best—even the ideal—textbook on this corpus for classroom (and personal) use currently available.” —BRENT A. STRAWN, Duke University
