James Crenshaw, Old Testament Wisdom: An Introduction (Louisville: Westminster John Knox, 1998), pp. 17-18. Earlier scholarship tended to critique the wisdom material as worldly, practical philosophy with none of ancient Israel’s trademark features – covenant, providence, Sinai, patriarchal promises, credo – including its theological expression; see Walter Brueggemann, Theology of the Old Testament: Testimony, Dispute, Advocacy (Minneapolis: Fortress, 1997), p. 334. Gerhard von Rad, Brueggemann notes, was an important exception: Gerhard von Rad’s two-volume Old Testament Theology addressed wisdom literature in the fourth section of the first volume (Old Testament Theology: The Theology of Israel’s Historical Traditions [trans. D.M.G. Stalker; New York: Harper and Row, 1962], pp. 355-459) and in his last major work, Wisdom in Israel (Nashville: Abingdon, 1972).
