The Wisdom of the Aramaic Book of Ahiqar

Unravelling a Discourse of Uncertainty and Distress

Beschreibung

The Wisdom of the Aramaic Book of Ahiqar offers a fresh reading of an ancient text that was an immensely popular work in antiquity. Despite the clear similarities with Proverbs and other sapiential traditions, Ahiqar challenges the more optimistic foundations of wisdom discourse, especially in couching its tension-filled instructions within a narrative of unjust suffering.
