Beschreibung:Revision of the author's thesis (Th. D.)--Harvard University, 2006 under title: To whom has wisdom's root been revealed? : Ben Sira and the election of Israel : a thesis
Includes bibliographical references (pages 270-284) and indexes
Wisdom, Torah, and election : an introduction to the study -- Election and creation : the sun, the moon, and Israel's chosenness -- Election and revelation : general and special wisdom -- Election and tradition : the preservation and transmission of wisdom -- Election and piety : the "fear of YHWH" -- Election and eschatology : Israel among the nations -- Conclusion : Ben Sira and the election of Israel
By interpreting the theme of election in the book of Sirach, this monograph offers an alternative to the dualistic interpretation of Ben Sira and suggests a reading of this pivotal figure that accounts both for his particularism and his universalism
