Hebrew and Hellenistic Thought in the Book of Wisdom

Ideological Confluence in Wisdom of Solomon The Wisdom of Solomon is an inter-testamental book written in Egypt between 200 and 100 BCE for Jews being confronted by a pagan culture and secular environment conflicting with their spiritual teaching. In this book, Dr. King  attempts to assist the reader in understanding the impact of this writing upon that ancient world. He offers a much needed discussion on understanding the Wisdom of Solomon in terms of that milieu as well as the early years of Christianity. This book will be a welcome resource for those involved in the teaching and study of this subject matter. In addition, the book will prove valuable to those who are seeking a better understanding of the relationship between Solomon's wisdom and the Jewish and Christian thought of the world both prior to and after the advent of Christianity.
