Wisdom Literature

The Psalms and the works of wisdom show that the history of redemption, the covenant and the prophetic word from God, are not merely religious ideas or statements about the past but encounters with the living God. The great objective facts of God's work for his people to save them can never remain merely out there. They are the foundation for spiritual experience and endeavor. They motivate and shape piety, worship and good deeds. They are the indispensable means by which the Spirit of God regenerates the heart, mind and soul of those whom he calls into fellowship with himself.

Graeme Goldsworthy, According to Plan, Pg. 177
