The End of Wisdom: A Rebuttal by Martin Shields

In a recent post, I noted the new review of books listed in the most recent issue of The Review of Biblical Literature. Among the books reviewed was a book written by Martin A. Shields, The End of Wisdom: A Reappraisal of the Historical and Canonical Function of Ecclesiastes. The book was reviewed by Harold C. Washington.

The author of the book, Martin Shields, has written a post for his blog, shields up, in which he rebuts some of the criticism Washington made about the content of the book. You can read Shield’s rebuttal here.
