The Testimony of Poets and Sages

W. H. Bellinger Jr.

With a helpful amount of scholarly information on organization, form, and context, Bill Bellinger will help you and your class explore the depths of the poetry and wisdom of Psalms, Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes. The Psalms, or hymns, of lament and praise nurture honest dialogue with God. The pragmatic teaching of Proverbs remind us of the sacred nature of all that God has created. And the speculation of Job and Ecclesiastes allows us to raise questions about the unexplainable and ambiguous aspects of life. These are texts from the community of faith for the community of faith.

William H. Bellinger, Jr. retired as the W. Marshall and Lulie Craig Chairholder in Bible and the Chair of the Department of Religion at Baylor University, Waco, Texas. He is a graduate of Cambridge University, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Furman University.
