Wisdom of Solomon 7/7

NOTE: These are recordings that I made for myself many, many years ago. In most instances, they are first time run throughs, which I made in the odd moments that I could get to them. I had a crude stereo with a condenser mic set up in a spare room where I could add a few minutes here, a half-hour there and so on, so sometimes Im tired, sometimes exhausted, sometimes fresh and sometimes not. You get the picture. I was simply eager to learn what all these books had to say. They soon became my whole world, and I realized my calling. For the most part, they are still not available in audio format, so I thought Id share what I had with those who are eager to learn. If you immerse yourselves in these things, you will gain a much broader and deeper understanding of the Word, and come to appreciate just HOW MUCH these books are referred in the Bible. THE BOOK OF WISDOM, or The Wisdom of Solomon or simply Wisdom is one of the deuterocanonical books of the Bible. It is one of the seven Sapiential or wisdom books of the Septuagint Old Testament, which includes Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon (Song of Songs), and Ecclesiasticus (Sirach). According to St. Melito in the second century AD, it was considered canonical by Jews and Christians, and a Hebrew translation of the Wisdom of Solomon is mentioned by Namanides in the preface to his commentary on the Pentateuch. The Book of Wisdom should not be confused with Sirach, by Ben Sira, also known as Wisdom of Jesus son of Sirach, Wisdom of Ben Sira, (or Sirach) or Ecclesiasticus, a work from the second century BC, originally written in Hebrew.
