Congratulations - You have finished the Bible study of the "wisdom books". Understanding the contents of the "wisdom books" are very critical to the foundation of our faith.
Take sometime and answer the following questions before we jump into our next study, which will be the Prophets.
The study of Jewish history has laid the foundation for the prophets. God is unchanging therefore we need to understand the Old to interpret the New. Please take some time and answer the following questions, it will be to both our benefits, especially mine.
This is a new and growing ministry. I now have well over five hundred students and I would like to make this course better for the next student. Please suggest improvements, be specific.
1. Did you learn anything new about the Bible or the subject of theology during the study of the wisdom books? If so list some of the important things you learned.
2. What did you like and what did you dislike about your study thus far?
3. Did we leave any important aspect of God's Word out in the study so far? If so what?
4. What changes or improvements to the course would you suggest?
5. Tell me a little more about yourself, your current ministry goals, etc? Has anything changed since you started this course?
6. Meditate upon the wisdom study and list some key elements of wisdom that you saw during this study.
7. Relate at least three items from your wisdom study to a counseling situation.
Again, you did an excellent work of this study. May God not only keep you excited about learning His Word, but also give you more opportunities to share it.
Your next study is the study of the Prophets.
If you are working toward a certificate in counseling do counseling lesson 8
Thanks.

Each of the Wisdom books has distinctive content, however there are a number of common themes with "the fear of the Lord" being one of the major ones.
The fear of the Lord provides a pervasive orientation throughout the Psalms and Wisdom Books. The phrase, or one like it, appears about 60 times in these books, but its significance goes beyond its simple frequency. It also sets the framework in which wise living takes place. So in the book of Job it becomes the leading question of the outer frame of the book (Job 1:9). It nearly brackets the entire collection of the Psalms: the first injunction in the Psalms directs rulers to "serve the Lord with fear" (Ps. 2:11); while to fear the Lord gives one pleasure (Ps. 147:11). Proverbs is permeated with this outlook: not only is "the fear of the Lord . . . the beginning of knowledge" (Prov. 1:7), but so too it is "a fountain of life" (Prov. 14:27). Even the apparently skeptical Ecclesiastes joins in, since whatever else may happen, "God is the one you must fear" (Eccles. 5:7; cf. 8:12; 12:13).
Inerrancy of Scripture
Sanctify them through thy truth:
thy word is truth. (John 17:17)
One way to Salvation
Jesus saith unto him, I am the
way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me. (John 14:6)
