Beschreibungen
Like the first two books in this series (WealthWatch and WealthWarn), this volume attempts to do two things: (a) examine the primary socioeconomic motifs in the Bible from a comparative intertextual perspective, and (b) trace the trajectory formed by these motifs through Tanak into early Jewish and Nazarene texts.
Where WealthWatch focuses on Torah and WealthWarn focuses on the Prophets, WealthWise focuses on wisdom literature. The texts examined here include the Instructions of Shuruppak, Codex Hammurabi, the Poem of the Pious Sufferer (Ludlul bel nemeqi), the Babylonian Theodicy, the Shamash Hymn, the Dialogue of Pessimism, various Hittite texts, the Proverbs of Ahiqar, 4QInstruction, the Wisdom of Ben Sira, and the Wisdom of Solomon, plus Luke's "Sermon on the Plain" and the Epistle of James.

“Does God bless people with wealth because they’re faithful and they serve him? Or do faithful people renounce wealth—is poverty the real blessing? Typically, the Scriptures speak with more subtlety, shrewdness, and realism than the sayings that appear on bumper stickers. In this study, Michael Moore shows himself learned, widely read, and thought-provoking on the subject of wealth in the wisdom writings within the Scriptures. . . . You will never be bored by this book.”

<br> “Once again Michael Moore demonstrates scholarly acumen in his third study of how ancient Israel and its neighbors managed competition between households. Moore wants readers in capitalist economies today—where competition defines every aspect of an individual’s daily life, including faith practice—to better understand what success means in the world of the Bible, with its own unique economies. The research is solid. The writing is clear. The subject is important.”
