Previous scholarship has often understood Ben Sira’s worldview to be dualistic, and has approached the sage's correlation of Wisdom and Torah as either a nationalization of Wisdom or a universalization of Torah. By probing Ben Sira’s ideas about election, this book suggests that Ben Sira does not collapse the traditional sapiential dichotomy wisdom/folly into a dualistic worldview, and that his understanding of the relation between Wisdom and Torah proves to be far more subtle than previous interpretations have allowed. The study demonstrates that the concept of election enables a profitable discussion of the relation of Wisdom and Torah in the thought of this pivotal Second Temple sage.Supplements to the Journal for the study of Judaism ;v. 139.JewsElection, Doctrine ofJewsElection, Doctrine of.296.3/117211.41bclGoering Greg Schmidt1548512MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785701303321Wisdom's root revealed3805604UNINA
