Some were written originally in English and others have been translated from Spanish and Italian originals. They are divided in three groups: introductory, thematic, and exegetical essays. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The exegetical articles offer a detail study of several passages of the book, some of them pivotal in the structure of the book (Sir 2,1; 4,11-19; 6,22; 22,27-23,6; 23,27; 24,22; 27,30-28,7; 34,1-8; 34,9-12; 42,15-43,33; 43,27-33). \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The thematic essays deal with important theological issues such as canon and inspiration, wisdom, fear of the lord, trial, cult, prayer, forgiveness, and creation. Other no less important issues such as power and authority, dreams, travels, perfumes, animals and garments are discussed as well. Special attention is given to topics related with women, for instance, Ben Sira's classification of wives, divorce, polygamy, and the absence of named women in the Praise of the Ancestors (Sir 44-50). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nuria Calduch-Benages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110486504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110486506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Nuria Calduch-Benages","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47203084959999,"sku":"9783110486506","price":144.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_12797ae4-fc2b-40f2-9905-2eede898e3e9.jpg?v=1756834288","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/for-wisdoms-sake-nuria-calduch-benages-9783110486506","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
