Now \u003ci\u003eThe Tree of Life\u003c\/i\u003e is available in a third edition, complete with a new preface by the author and a special supplement that surveys the latest developments in wisdom research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis superb study thoroughly explores the wisdom writings of the Bible, interpreting this literature in a way that illumines the development of Israel's search for wisdom throughout its tumultuous history. Murphy looks at each wisdom book individually -- Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Ecclesiasticus, and Wisdom of Solomon -- and adds to them a discussion of wisdom from other parts of the Old Testament. His careful investigations expose the various guises that wisdom adopts -- the \"fear of the Lord,\" moral formation, the universality of human experience, the mysteries of creation, and others.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9.04 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 28, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42131344687239,"sku":"9780802839657","price":36.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/109bd6dc86e31389e984597e040b3498.webp?v=1732618224","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-tree-of-life-an-exploration-of-biblical-wisdom-literature-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
