Old Testament Wisdom And Poetry (Job Through Song Of Solomon): An Outline

Preface

For eight years, I taught students historical books, prophets, and wisdom literature at Dallas Theological Seminary, and at Capital Bible Seminary for 30 years. It gives one great joy to see many of those students entering the ministry and serving the Lord.

Wisdom (Proverbs) and Psalms are favorite parts of the Bible to believers. Job is known primarily through chapters 1-2 and 42. The rest of Job is usually ignored, and Ecclesiastes is especially avoided. It is hoped that these notes will bring enlightenment on these books and, perhaps, lead the reader into a fuller understanding of their intent and content.
