The Wisdom of Solomon book club questions

by Anonymous · a kit for three meetings · 15 questions · printable

Fifteen discussion questions for The Wisdom of Solomon, grouped by three stretches of the book of about the same length, with a reading plan, themes to talk about and a sheet you can print. Two good openers: how persuasive is the argument for enjoying life because it is brief and soon forgotten? And what does the plan to oppress and kill the righteous suggest about the wicked speakers' motives?
