Wisdom's root revealed : Ben Sira and the election of Israel

Wisdom's root revealed : Ben Sira and the election of Israel / by Greg Schmidt Goering.

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.
