The OT Book of Wisdom was written about a hundred years before the coming of Christ. Its author, whose name is not known to us, was a member of the Jewish community at Alexandria, in Egypt. He wrote in Greek, in a style patterned on that of Hebrew verse. At times he speaks in the person of Solomon, placing his teachings on the lips of the wise king of Hebrew tradition in order to emphasize their value. His profound knowledge of the earlier Old Testament writings is reflected in almost every line of the book, and marks him, like Ben Sira, as an outstanding representative of religious devotion and learning among the sages of postexilic Judaism.
The Book of Wisdom is part of the Canon of Scripture. Is this not in your Bible?
Oh. Its apocraphya.
Ok. Thanks.
By the way, It’s not in the Old Testament, so your answer is a bit misleading.
Correction. The Book of Wisdom is part of the Apocrypha. Catholics added this to their Canon of Scripture in the 1500s through the Council of Trent. Protestants adhere to the original Canon of Scripture laid down in the late 300AD.
If the Book of Wisdom is not in your Bible, you are holding to what was given to us by the early fathers.
