This subject explores Israelite texts that reflect on living well and justly with one another (wisdom) and before God (worship) through life's varied circumstances. The interconnections between creation, human experience and language about God within Israel's varied wisdom and worship traditions are critically evaluated. Key texts examined include Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Lamentations, Sirach and the Wisdom of Solomon, focusing on their respective literary features, socio-cultural contexts and diverse philosophical, religious and moral perspectives.
