Book of Wisdom

The Book of Wisdom or Wisdom of Solomon sometimes referred to simply as Wisdom or the Book of the Wisdom of Solomon is one of the books of the Bible. It is considered scripture classified as deuterocanonical by the Roman Catholic Church and similarly anagignoskomena by the Orthodox Catholic Church. Protestant churches generally consider it to be non-canonical and thus not Biblical scripture though still of spiritual value. It is one of the seven Sapiential or wisdom books included with the Septuagint along with Job Psalms Proverbs Ecclesiastes Song of Songs and Sirach. Eusebius wrote in his Church History that Bishop Melito of Sardis in the 2nd century AD considered Wisdom of Solomon as part of the Old Testament and that it was considered canonical by Jews and Christians. On the other hand the contrary claim has been made: In the catalogue of Melito presented by Eusebius after Proverbs the word Wisdom occurs which nearly all commentators have been of opinion is only another name for the same book and not the name of the book now called The Wisdom of Solomon. An Aramaic translation of the Wisdom of Solomon is mentioned by Naḥmanides in the preface to his commentary on the Pentateuch. This video is targeted to blind users.
