The Jews divided their sacred writ into three sections—the Torah and Histories; the Prophecies; and the Writings. This book is about the writings—Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Ruth, Esther, Jonah, and Daniel. Their content constitutes in a special way God’s Word for our times.
