Jesus made frequent allusions to the intertestamental wisdom books of Tobit, the Wisdom of Solomon, and the Wisdom of Jesus Ben Sirach. Paying attention to these background texts provides context which helps to illuminate the teachings of Jesus, especially those found in the Sermon on the Mount.

The wisdom of Solomon was part of the Greek Bible most often quoted by Jesus Christ and the Apostles. To what degree did Jesus and the Apostles regard the content of this book, and incorporate it in their teachings? The evidence is in the text itself. Conceptual themes are considered with respect to frequent allusions made throughout the New Testament.

In the deep wilds where no roads go—where the mist creeps low over black roots and the trees remember every name ever whispered in fear—something ancient stirs. The old laws are breaking. The balance is shifting. And the name they speak in trembling dread—Moonroth—was never meant to be remembered. Koda is no man. He is of the earth—stone, bark, and silver-veined bone, shaped by seasons older than memory. Part myth, part sentinel, he moves with the silence of mountains and the fury of storms. He is the first and last line between what was and what must never be again.

"Nicholas Humphrey writes so elegantly, he turns thinking into a positive pleasure." Richard Dawkins
