The five books found at the center of the Holy Bible—Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs—wrestle with the question of living rightly in a fallen world. Books of Poetry: A Bible Study Collection brings together more than 70 works of commentary and scholarship that explore and explain these ancient texts. Included are works by Christian thinkers such as Augustine of Hippo and Pope Gregory the Great, as well as noted 19th- and 20th-century ministers and academics.ℓ
