In Biblical Wisdom Literature, award-winning professor Father Joseph Koterski takes you deep inside this tradition. In 36 thought-provoking lectures, you explore enlightening teachings that have inspired the world and that continue to speak to life’s most important questions. Throughout the course, you benefit from Father Koterski’s ecumenical perspective, as he presents these teachings within the Jewish and Christian traditions and compares the varying versions of these texts.
