The publication of the King James version of the Bible, translated between 1603 and 1611, coincided with an extraordinary flowering of English literature and is universally acknowledged as the greatest influence on English-language literature in history. Now, world-class literary writers introduce the book of the King James Bible in a series of beautifully designed, small-format volumes. The introducers' passionate, provocative, and personal engagements with the spirituality and the language of the text make the Bible come alive as a stunning work of literature and remind us of its overwhelming contemporary relevance.

The editor of this book would advise all prospective buyers to perhaps wait for the second edition of this book now in preparation. If all you are interested in, is the poem by Max Ehrmann, there is no problem, as this is faithfully reproduced. However, the appendix, included for comparative reasons and which reproduces 'Ecclesiastes' from the King James Bible, was not, it appears, the main text that Ehrmann used as the basis for his poem (as indicated, incorrectly, in the introduction). 'Ecclesiastes' has been confused with another text 'Ben Sira[h]' with which it is associated in a somewhat complex manner. The second edition will rectify this error on the author's part (apologies to any purchasers of the first edition).Original description to the first edition: This is a fully revised version of Max Ehrmann's 1934 classic 'Worldly Wisdom'. Ehrmann's famous poem 'Desiderata' has delighted the world for many years and is one of the most popularly searched poems on the internet. Like 'Desiderata' this new book is full of gentle soulful advice on how to lead one's life. A detailed introductory essay, by Tim Dalgleish, investigates Ehrmann's relationships with Theodore Dreiser, Eugene Debs and others, and is full of interesting biographical facts about the author himself, all of which helps us 'revisit' this spiritual classic with fresh eyes

Sensitive to both literary form and theological content, Derek Kidner introduces Proverbs, Job and Ecclesiastes, explaining their basic character and internal structure. He also summarizes and evaluates the wealth of modern criticism focused on each book. Looking at all three books together, Kidner shows how their many voices compare, contrast and ultimately give a unified view of life.

Unlike most Old Testament books, the Wisdom Books don't relate scenes from Israel's history. Instead, these sayings, songs, and poems show us how to understand and deal with everyday problems through the lens of faith. From the suffering of Job, to the pragmatic proverbs, to the vanity of all things and the intimate love of God, these books spiritually nourish and instruct God's people how to live well and in accord with one another and all creation. Guided by the Spirit, all can learn to know, love, and fear the Lord. Part of the Liguori Catholic Bible Study, a series of 21 books introducing each book of the Bible, providing insight into the sacred words of antiquity and inviting you to discover the living Word and its impact on our daily lives. The narrative, study questions, reflections, key notes, prayers, and an introduction to the spiritual practice of lectio divina will deepen your understanding of Scripture.
