The third major section of the Jewish Scriptures (after the Torah and the Prophets) is “the Writings”, a grab-bag of books that either didn’t fit logically into the first two categories (like “wisdom literature”) or were likely among the last written. Yet in this bag are some of the most important books in the Christian Old Testament (like Psalms) and some of the most beloved (like Ruth and Esther). We will look at a section of these books and consider their impact on both the Jewish and Christian traditions.
