The book of Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach, also called Ecclesiasticus, is the longest book of the deuterocanon. It was originally written in Hebrew, and fragments have been found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. It was later translated into Greek and added to the works of the Septuagint in the second century before Christ. This book helps to make the transition from the Old Testament to the New. It was well known and frequently alluded to by Jesus, the Apostles, and the Early Church. Many of the concepts are echoed in the Sermon on the Mount and other key teachings of Jesus Christ.

The goal of this book is not to convert individuals to any specific religion, but to open up our understanding of how to hear God’s voice for ourselves within whatever group we live in. Think of it like this: each of us has been given a piece of paper. None of us has a whole piece of paper because there is no way we could totally understand Him. So, each of us is missing parts of the paper: some more than others.

Schreiner addresses the conflict between Paul and his opponents in Galatia, examines the gospel itself, and shows what it looks like to live out the truth of the gospel in the new era.
