Review Quotes: This book is powerful, pastoral and trustworthy, and makes wisdom accessible to contemporary believers. Dan Estes explains the text is clear and balanced way, and only introduces other scholarly views to clarify what the passage actually means. He has one foot firmly planted in the world of Old Testament wisdom, but the other one is just as firmly grounded in the contemporary world. He rightly sees that wisdom is not simply confined to a few books, but it flows into other parts of the Old Testament ('like a recurrent motif woven throughout a symphony'), and into the teaching of Jesus and the apostles. Estes teaches wisdom wisely, and this book will make you want to preach a series on wisdom.', Lindsay Wilson, Senior Lecturer in Old Testament, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia
