Sumario:Is there evidence for a distinct "wisdom tradition" in ancient Israel? Mark R. Sneed redefines the wisdom literature as a loosely cohering collection of books that educated scribal apprentices in moral instruction.

The result is a surprising new picture of the authors and tradents of the wisdom literature. Maps and illustrations include.
