The Poetic Books, also known as the Wisdom Literature, represent some of the most beloved and frequently quoted portions of Scripture. Written primarily in Hebrew poetry, these books explore the deepest questions of human existence: suffering, wisdom, worship, love, and the meaning of life.

Job wrestles with suffering and God's sovereignty, Psalms provides the hymnal of Israel's worship, Proverbs offers practical wisdom for daily living, Ecclesiastes examines life's meaning apart from God, and Song of Solomon celebrates the beauty of married love as a picture of Christ and His church.

Books included: Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon (Psalms listed separately)
