Wisdom of Solomon

The Wisdom of Solomon is a Jewish philosophical and religious work written in Greek, probably in Alexandria during the 1st century before the common count. Traditionally attributed to King Solomon, it was actually composed centuries after his lifetime by an unknown Jewish author.

The book combines biblical teachings with Greek philosophical ideas, emphasizing divine wisdom, righteousness, the immortality of the soul, and God's judgment of the wicked. It also retells episodes from Israel's history, particularly the Exodus, to demonstrate divine protection of the Jewish people.

The work reflects the intellectual and religious life of Hellenistic Judaism and the challenges of preserving Jewish identity within Greek-speaking society. It is not included in the Tanakh.
