There are only five Poetry and Wisdom books, but they contain some of the best known songs and passages in the Bible. Whether they express praise to God, pearls of wisdom or beautiful romantic poetry, each book in this volume is an essential companion to Christian life and showcases the truly outstanding lyrical and literary side of the Bible which may be mistakenly overlooked. The Books of Wisdom and Poetry, Job through Song of Songs, make up the section of the Christian Bible that follows the Pentateuch and the Historical Books.
