NSBT 46: Finding Favour in the Sight of God

There has been an explosion of interest in wisdom literature, and many
studies are now available. There is every opportunity for people to 'get
wisdom, get insight' (Prov. 4:5). However, in today's world it seems
that the practical sensibilities thatt come from wisdom are found in very few
places. Wisdom literature is needed now more than ever. By walking in the way
of wisdom we will 'find favour and good success in the sight of God and
man' (Prov. 3:4).






Richard Belcher's valuable study begins with a survey of the
problem of wisdom literature in Old Testament theology. Subsequent chapters
focus on the message and theology of the books of Proverbs, Job and
Ecclesiastes. These books point forward to the need for Christ and the gospel.
Belcher concludes by exploring the relationship of Christ to wisdom in terms of
his person, work and teaching ministry.
