The book of Sirach praises the study of the law, the wisdom of the men of old and their prophecies. Its author is well-read and re-articulates traditional Jewish wisdom for his generation, centering it on fear of the Lord, and clearly asserting that wisdom is a gift from God. He encourages his audience to remain steadfast in following the law of Moses rather than following the ways of the dominant pagan Greek culture.Publication delayed until March 2013
