Reviews
Brevard Childs "It is a happy day to welcome the appearance of the first volume in this long-awaited series. . . The work, done with Murphy's customary learning and good sense, offers a valuable perspective for the interpretation of the wisdom material and will serve many generations of students as a dependable guide." Walter Brueggemann " . . . Murphy's volume is the first in what promises to be an indispensable series. The entire series, and surely this volume, promises to be not only valuable, but an unavoidable starting point for future investigations. . . This book will be a helpful point of exploration for scholars. For beginning students, it will be a valuable point of entry into discussion. . . Our debt to Murphy is great."
