Wisdom and law in the Old Testament

"This is a completely revised and expanded edition of a classic text. Drawing on recent work on legal and didactic material and including more literary interpretation, Blenkinsopp traces the course of two related key traditions--law and wisdom--throughout the history of Israel in the biblical period. He demonstrates their essential lines of continuity with classical Jewish thought and early Christian theology." -- Publisher's description.

First sentence: In the Hebrew Bible the books over and above Pentateuch and Prophets are listed simply as Writings (ketubim in Hebrew).
