Product Description
Sirach: Volume 21 (Volume 21) (New Collegeville Bible Commentary: Old Testament)
<DIV>The book of Sirach praises the study of the law, the wisdom of the men of old and their prophecies. Its author is well-read and rearticulates traditional Jewish wisdom for his generation, centering it on fear of the Lord, and clearly asserting that wisdom is a gift from God. He encourages his audience to remain steadfast in following the law of Moses rather than following the ways of the dominant pagan Greek culture.</div><BR>
