Abstract

This paper examines concepts of ethnicity in the older and younger wisdom writings of Israel. A line extends from a purely descriptive political perception of the constellation "Israel-surrounding peoples" in the older wisdom to a more essentialist understanding of Israel as the people of God in the Wisdom of Solomon.
