Pedagogical Theory of Wisdom Literature

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Hinkle's innovative study of pedagogy in wisdom literature fills an important gap in Hebrew Bible research. As the companion volume to her Pedagogical Theory of the Hebrew Bible, this study continues to explore educational models behind religious education. The author brilliantly applies Neil Fleming's learning theory and combines it with construction of childhood models to tease out the variety of ways in which children learn. Practical evidence comes out of her examination of the theory in Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs to provide a subtle, yet convincing argument for social learning.”
