Summary

Since 1990 Roland Murphy's The Tree of Life has been a standard introduction to the wisdom literature of the Bible. Now The Tree of Life is available in a third edition, complete with a new preface by the author and a special supplement that surveys the latest developments in wisdom research.

This superb study devotes a chapter to each of the wisdom writings of scripture, interpreting each work in a way that clearly lays out the development of Israel's search for wisdom throughout its tumultuous history.

Author Biography

Roland E. Murphy is the George Washington Ivey Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies at Duke University and adjunct professor of biblical studies at Washington Theological Union
