Wisdom. Let Us Attend: Job, the Fathers, and the Old Testament

Compiled and edited by Johanna Manley

“This volume is being presented in the form of three books. The first book covers the Book of Job, which is part of the ‘Wisdom’ section of the ancient Bible. The Hebrew Bible is divided into three parts: the Torah[...], the Prophets, and Wisdom. The words from the title of this book, ‘Wisdom. Let us Attend’[...], are proclaimed by the priest in the Orthodox Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. Books II and III cover much of the rest of the Old Testament from Genesis to the Song of Songs, all with the help of the Fathers of the Church.”
