7.2 Introduction to Wisdom Literature
Activity
Brainstorm (on a whiteboard, butcher's paper, or otherwise):
What comes to mind when you think of the wisdom literature?
How are these books similar or different from the other books in the Bible?
How should this shape our mindsets when we read these books?
(It's okay if you aren't able to answer these questions at the start of this study. Hopefully you will be able to by the end of these sessions.)
The three videos below provide an excellent thematic overview of the wisdom literature.
The Book of Proverbs [5:31]
The Book of Ecclesiastes [6:42]
The Book of Job [7:15]
Split into groups of 3-5 people and discuss:
What stood out to you most from those videos?
How would you summarise the three wisdom books in one sentence?
